Commercial Description:
Is a unique beer which is a cross between a Red Ale and a Brown Ale, resulting in a tasty brew with a medium body, smooth english hop flavor, and a slightly roasted malt character.

Malty taste. Low hops. Was a little bit to thin.

Re-Rate 09/1/02: Deep garnet in color, the head is generous and beige, lots of lace. Nose is malt, nut sweet, as is the start. The middle of the beer is light, the finish is acidic, dry, lightly hopped and a decent but not great beer. Ranks #913 on my master beer list.

buttery, malty aroma; orangey-amber colour; thin body with rank flavours of sour hop, and empty maltiness (like spent grains). It’s not bottle-conditioned, so what’s gone wrong here?
