Commercial Description:
Our most versatile beer. Good to drink as well as cook with. Light enough to quench a thirst and complex enough to accompany fine dining. Carmel malty sweet fades to a chocolate roasty finish and dry from a touch of rye. 1.057 OG 13 IBU 6%ABV

An amber beer with an off-white head. The aroma is acidic and dominated by caramel - and so is the flavor. It lacks the berry notes I expect from an Irish Red.

On tap. Clear amber golden with an off-white head leaving laces. Sweet caramel aroma. Medium body, sweet caramel notes, but again distinct moldy accents. No bitterness. I wonder if Pizza Port Solana has a problem with keeping their tap lines clean - this was the third mildewy beer in the same day. 080709

From tap at Pizza Port in Solana Beach. Pours clear and golden deep amber with a small white head. Light roasted and caramelish malt aroma. Sweet caramelish and light toasted malt flavoured. Good light bitterness to this. Ends with a light creamy impression and a lasting light dry hoppy and light malty mix.

22oz bottle acquired in trade with DarkElf (thanks!). Poured a medium and clear brownish color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of caramel and fruits. Tastes of pretty much the same. Thinner body.

Bottle courtesy of DarkElf: Pours a clear amber brown with a thick frothy bone-colored head that leaves a fine lacing behind. Aroma is full of sweet, semi-toasted, caramel malts. Starts full and sweet with a hint of toasty malt and a touch of some lagerish off-flavors. Otherwise it’s quite well-balanced and enjoyable with lots of malt. A very drinkable red ale. Thanks Stephen!

Rating #4100... Bottle... Mostly clear Longhorn orange ale with a small, creamy, off-white head. Perfumey, fruity nose tenders wafts of honey, biscuit and toffee. Medium-bodied with a milky mouthfeel and prickly carbonation. Malty-sweet flavor, but not cloying... caramel and sweet, golden raisins. Caramelly finish. Thanks go out to WeeHeavySD!
