Brewed by Widmer Brothers Brewing Company
Style: Amber Ale
Portland, Oregon USA

Bottle. Deep red copper in color with a nice lacing. Very fruity hoppy and malty aroma. Earthy and piney hops. Caramel notes. Malty and hoppy flavor. Roasty. Sweet. Finish is dry. Medium bodied. Smooth. Very drinkable. Well balanced. Nice beer.

12 oz bottle fom Wohlfs. Rich red color with a small head and lots of lacing. Aroma is of chewy PNW hops and caramel. Taste is on the sweeter side with the piney hops shortly following. I had to look at the style to see it was an IPA, cause I was thinking this is the best amber I’ve ever had. It’s really balanced but just a bit too sweet to be a great IPA. Very nice though.

bottle 12 oz. Clear dark amber/copper w good carb & beige head that held up just OK, moderate lace. Aroma is med roast caramel malt with floral, spicey, piney hops. Flavor is the same with the darker roasted chocolate malt noticible. Alcohol is somewhat pronounced with the rather dull, cooked together flavors. A bit sweet & stickey w a noticable metallic taste. Well into medium bodied but lacking a clean well defined flavor especially in the malt department. The finish has a very noticable bitterness from the bittering hops. This offering was just OK.

12 oz bottle. Poured a jewel red bronze - quite lovely - with a small, fully diminishing off-white head. Huge aroma of grapefruit, both fruit and rind, some pine, and a little alcohol. Upon first gulp, I am overwhelmed by the sensation of plunging one’s head into a heap of pine needles - which, if you haven’t ever done, you really have missed something. Somewhat sweet in the fore, definitely bitter in the finish. About halfway through I was surprised by a green mintiness that had been hiding while the glass was cold. I love being surprised by a beer. A long, pleasantly bitter finish. Medium body, soft carbonation, very smooth and creamy. There are a lot of hops in here - more than I think I’ve had in a red - but it’s done well and not overpoweringly so. Not bad at all, and truth be told, quite a lot more than I was expecting. I’ll buy this again.

Good and hoppy, has a nice strong bitter taste too it. You don’t find a lot of reds around here so this is a nice one to get while we can.

Very nice hoppy aroma. Dark red copper colour. Warm malty flavour with delicious hop finish. Interesting red-IPA.

Solid beer from the Widmer’s, I usually don’t care for their stuff. Aroma is mostly caramel with a bit of roasted flavors. Flavor is very sweet with a good amount of bitterness. Not much flavoring or aroma hops here, it’s all for bittering. Oh, and the red color... Nice.

dark red pour with tan/white frothy head. nice malty aroma with citrus hop notes. mellow malty body with a touch of citrus in the finish. very drinkable and tasty.
