May 18, 2008 Floral hoppy nose. Light honey color with a "George Costanza" pinkish hue and thin lasting head. Somewhat malty intro with a medium body that seems a little watery. Sweet on the tongue followed by a bitter finish. Went down easy after mowing the lawn.

Apr 23, 2008 Clear copper color with a white head. Mild smell of caramel malts with a whiff of floral hops. Smooth medium body. Mild flavors of caramel and honey with a decently bitter finish. Very easy drinking mild flavored beer here. 3.21.2008

Apr 17, 2008 Spicy almost fruity nose. Red like mud almost adobe in color. Flavor is a bitter medicinal hops. Nice and clean on the palate. Overall it’s not too bad, not sure if i’d purchase but I’d drink it if it was available.

Apr 2, 2008 A little better on tap than from a bottle. Served from tap in shakers at the Abita Brew Pub and Columbia Street Tap room. Served in bowl-shaped stem glasses at Acme Oyster House. Color is a deep clear amber/red. Pours with a modest quickly disappearing head that leaves light lacing. Nose is prominently hoppy and malty. Flavor is hoppy, malty with a noticeable note of caramel and more subtle notes of coffee, fruit and spice. This ale bears a similarity to Abita’s newer Jocamo IPA. I like Red Ale a lot, and I like the new Jocamo even more. I almost consider Jocamo IPA as Abita’s next evolutionary step, after Red Ale, in their quest to produce the American Ale Holy Grail.

Mar 28, 2008 Tap - amber color, white head. I think this one has a bit more citrus nose than their other brews. Floral, grain, and hops round out the aroma. The flavor is a bit basic, but still a good brew: malted grains, citrus (lemon, grapefruit), bitter hops finish. Much better than I had hoped for.

Mar 25, 2008 On tap. Enjoyed this offering while sitting next to Jared of Subway sandwich fame at dinner on Bourbon Street. Not a bad red ale at all. Deep amber red color with nice malt & hop balance. One of the better Irish red ales Ive had this spring

Mar 13, 2008 Bottle. Pours a clear amber color with a medium white head that diminishes quickly. Sticky lacing on the glass. The aroma is a good balance of malt and hops with slight caramel. The taste is a light hop with a bitter finish. A decent amber from Abita.

Mar 11, 2008 I liked this Abita a lot more than a lot of the ones I had while in New Orleans. Good flavor and a nice red taste. Great on tap, I bought while in LA but wouldn’t buy again
