| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 25, 2009 Bottle. Pours a clear brown that borders on crimson, with a medium white head that falls of quickly with a little lacing left. Clean almost medicinal aroma that borders on metallic. Thin to medium bodied and malty with a bit of sweetness and toast. Long bitter finish. Had I not known this was a Southern Tier beer I’d have never have guessed it. Quite weak for their usual standards, I was rather disappointed. bierkoning (6023), La Tropica, Netherlands
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Mar 20, 2009 Bottle. Reddish brown color. Red grapes juice in the mushy aroma. Initial red grapes juice followed by a firm oily, earthy flowery hopbitterness. Notes of leather and plastic and alcohol. Not unpleasant, but there are some odd flavors.

The flavour is quite caramelly, has some grassy hops, slightly biting. The aftertaste even has some caramel along with a good grassy hoppiness. JB175 (1663), Bucks County, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 4, 2009 Amber color with a medium head. Aroma seems like a typical amber with a bit more sweetness. Flavor is honeyish with a classic amber/grainy thing going on. OK, but this seems like a basic amber or red ale with a bit more sugar - whats the point? Maria (6167), Thisted, Denmark
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 4, 2009 It is beautiful, red-golden and the head is huge and creamy. The aroma is hoppy, fruity with notes of malt and caramel. The flavour has a light sweetness and notes of malt, caramel, grapefruit and oranges. It is smooth/soft and yet dry with a light bitterness in the finish. It is very well balanced. n49921 (108), USA
