Ehhh. You know, I usuallll ike Sam Adams, but this one I didn’t care for. red in color, not a whole lot of head. I didn’t really get the carmel or much of the malt. I don’t know, not one of my favorites.That’s ok, they ,ake lots of other good stuff.

Jul 22, 2008 Pours red, slightly tan, with a moderate white head. Aroma is fruity-ish, caramel, bread and rather flowery. Tastes like liquid bread, caramel, gingerbread, slight floral flavor. Toasty finish and slightly cloying oktoberfest aftertaste. Light bodied, drinkable, but there’s some weird flavors here and there.

Jul 22, 2008 12 oz bottle from enniskillen; Nose of caramel and toffee; lightly hazy red with a big rust tinged, glass-lacing, head; flavor is slightly sweet and toffee; would be a good session brew for me with more flavor than lighter styles.

Jul 22, 2008 Nice light reddish color with a finger of off white head that laces the glass. Not much in the nose, some metallic caramel. Taste is much better, cool breadiness and sweet caramel that flows into a substantial hoppiness. Enjoyable and very drinkable if a bit simple.

Jul 21, 2008 Appearance is a red brown. I’ve seen prettier red beers before but this one’s pretty nice. Big and foamy rootbeer-like head with tons of lacing.
Smell of brown sugar, raisin, walnut, and flowery hops.
Taste is quite sour and bitter in a good way that balances the powerful sweetness in this beer. Flavor dances around a bit.
Mouthfeel is thick and smooth with low carbonation. Finish is bitter and a bit astringent.
Drinkability is decent. This is a pretty big beer for the low price tag.
