COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Our signature beer and our best seller, this beer has started more meals and conversations than any other at the Brewing Company! This red ale is a well-balanced beer, not too sweet and not too hoppy with a beautiful copper color and an extremely smooth finish.

JoeMcPhee (6835) - Toronto, ON, Ontario, CANADA - NOV 28, 2008
Tap at SDBC. Amber coloured beer. Aroma is mostly of light pale malts. No real character malts apparent in spite of the deep colour. Flaovur is quite bland with just a kiss of earthy bitterness. Meh... quite uninspired.

BückDich (5468) - McCall, Idaho, USA - FEB 28, 2006
Draft: Bronze color, nose if lightly hopped, watery, sour. The flavor is similar, bland. Finishes tart. Hard to compare to the other hoppy SD beers on tap.
