Nov 2, 2002 Updated: Jul 18, 2007Classic red color. Caramel comes to the nose. Then there’s a wonderful party of caramel, a hint of chocolate, and just the right bite. Lots of different things in one beer. Outstanding specimen.

Jun 22, 2005 Red-brown in hue, with a strong hop smell (almost IPA level). However, it certainly isn’t an IPA, which is okay, for this is a fine red ale nonetheless. Their description of the the beer is suprisingly good, especially about the dryhopping coming out in the end. Has a faint hint of nuttiness as well.

Dec 21, 2001 Is it just me, or is it weird that this is the top two ambers I have run across in the past week? This is up there with mogollon amber. Pours to a mountainous, rocky head which has stick power like a champ. Hoppy and fruity nose, strong and rich, lasting bitterness like biting a hop leaf, creamy mouthfeel, which finishes semi-dry and somewhat grainy.

Mar 1, 2003 Med red color. Large head. Aroma is roasted malts, caramel and chocolate. A full bodied Red Ale. Big flavored chocolate and caramel malts. Hops are bold, bitter and grapefruity. This is a pretty aggressive beer, yet there is some smoothness to it as well. Interesting red ale. Mouthfeel is full and creamy. Finish is dry. Aftertaste is bitter.

Jan 14, 2002 Pretty darn aggressive beer. Malty, bitter, and unyielding to the last drop. Agree with Shadallion about the inherent pathetic quality of the ’red ale,’ but this actually gives a sorry excuse for a category a good name.

Jun 9, 2001 Red ale is a pretty pathetic style overall, but this example is delectible. The malt is really on display here, with both caramel and chocolat malts high-lighted in a major way. The finish balances it all out with a nice finish. Dry-hopping really gives it a nice aroma. A triumph.

Oct 14, 2001 Huge head; almost had to defend my house against its encroachment! Beautiful, red hue. Bitter, strong, rich, and rather hoppy, with a nice bitterness about it. Quite theeee healthy brew!

Jun 3, 2005 Clear reddish amber hue, good head formation. Caramel malt and citrus fruit aroma. Well balanced palate just enough fruity citrus bite to counter the chocolatey/caramel malt palate. Refreshing and flavorful, top notch amber.
