Bottle. Very clear, golden pour with little to no head. Sweet, malty aroma. Not a whole lot going on with the flavor. Just a very clean, drinkable beer with a nice malty sweetness. Very refreshing.

Not red, but gold/bronze, but this doesn’t bother me. Head doesn’t last. Medium bodied with low carbonation. Rich malty taste with some slight whiskey notes. Slightly smoky. A little honey too. A good cold-weather beer.

Pours a light reddish gold color with a thin foamy white head. Sweet malt aroma. Flavor is the same, with some light fruit. Just ok.

[1083-20080201] 330mL (c/o mds, w/ him, blankboy, jerc). Honeyed hay soap aroma has notes of straw. Clear, orange brown body with quick foamy white bubbles. Sweet hay yeast flavour shows off a farmer straw field base with a bit of peppermint. Light-medium body. Fair.

11.2 oz bottle. Clear gold with a thin white head. Extremely strong, sweet malty nose - smells like a brew day. Where is the smoke? I can’t detect it. The label says this is a red - um, what? Anyway, disregarding the nomenclature, the flavor is big and malty, a bit of fruitiness and honey. Medium-full body, very smooth. Nice, but nothing to get excited about... wait - $4??? I think I got taken.

Bottle, thx papsoe. A clear, yellow-golden beer with a white head leaving some lacings. Sweet and malty nose with some alcohol, but I didn’t trace any whisky-inspired aromas. Sweet and malty flavor too, and also here there were some alcohol. There’s some fruityness as well, but not much hoppy bitterness were detected. Full, warming mouthfeel, and a finish with some bitterness. A drinkable and somehow enjoyable beefed-up eurolager. Good? Well... (080112)

Bottle (12oz) shared with jerc, mabel & mds -- courtesy of mds. Pours a clear golden-orange with an average size white head. Aroma’s sweet and grainy with a hint of whiskey. Mild, overly sweet flavour of yeast, sweet malt, alcohol and light grassy hops. Weak body. Meh, this is ’alright’ at best.
