Commercial Description:
Dark red in color, medium body with a nice hop balance. Our strongest ale, very clean tasting with complex malt character. A west coast adaptation of a traditional amber ale.

This has a nice aroma. A good malt/hop balance. Sweetly smooth, easy-drinking. I enjoyed this.

Dark plum color. Aroma is of cherry with hints of malts and plums. Different than other red ales i’ve had. Smooth yet pale as a "pale ale". Not much hop character. Ends well carbonated but those same malt notes are still there in the end. A decent clean drinking beer nothing special.

Pours dark red-brown with a light tan head. Aroma is oddly vegetal...steamed broccoli, bad brie cheese, sweat, maybe some bread. Tastes of rotten cherries, soap, with a wood astringency sort of character that almost approaches a breadlike flavor. Finishes bitter and toasty, kinda sticks on the throat too much for the style. Oh wait, it’s not really an "Irish" red ale I guess. Fairly full bodied for the style, and high in carbonation. This was surprisingly bad! How’d an amber ale get so messed up? At least I can sip this real quickly.

Rich malty nose, smells like fresh sweet wort, caramel and nutmeg hints. Brownish red, hints of orange, and a soapy medium head. Toasty caramel syrup sweetness, mild bitterness. Medium carbonation, slightly thin body, really rich and malty finish. Nice all around beer, maltiness really shines.

Bomber I got in Dallas. Shared with bikesandbeer and my gf cyn. Pours dark red with a tan ring. Nose is a dead maltiness. Taste is slightly amber with a lingering sweetness. This isn’t horrible but its not great either.
