Aug 23, 2005 Very small white head. Light copperish color. Not a whole lot going on here, flavors don’t stand out, pretty boring for a micro.

Aug 4, 2005 Updated: Aug 23, 2005On tap at the Berghoff Cafe at the O’hare International Airport. Not good at all. Really. The smell reminded me of a litter box, with some caramel. Im not just making that up. I sat there for five minutes after I was served trying to get a decent whiff of this thing. It was more of a dirty golden color that amber or red highlights. The flavor was just kind of a mish mash of stuff. Nothing stood out. No structure. Please avoid this beer.

Aug 1, 2005 Bottle from a sampler pack: More amber than red with a small fizzy off-white head that produced okay lacing. The aroma has notes of bready and caramel malts, grassy hops, apple and pear, a light white pepper. The taste is a bit acidic and bitter followed closely by a bready and yeasty background. Almost no depth on the palate but also no off-flavors either. The finish does have some bitter notes as well as a hint of hop spice. The feel is lively but does get a bit chalky after a while. A solid brew and among the better beers I have had from this Huber line. Dad though it okay but seemed put off by the acidic initial taste. It is not a pale ale, I would call it an Ale and leave it at that.

Jun 27, 2005 12 oz bottle - Poured deep amber with not much head. Aroma is of malts and a touch of spice. Flavor is quite malty. Hearty and robust for a beer of this color. Not much in the way of hops though. On the palate this is medium bodied and overall average in all ways.

Jun 26, 2005 Does not have the horrid aftertaste of most pale ales. It tastes a lot more like an Irish Red beer, Killians etc. Nice flavor, but overall not outstanding. Berghoff is a good brand overall.

Jun 16, 2005 Pour is red, I’ll give them that. No head at all and aroma is cherry-berry. Flavor turns out to be a nice rosted malt but nothing else. This one is super malty! Overall not bad if you like a malty brew. A bit more hops and this could have been a winner.

May 31, 2005 Had this one bottled. A nice red, although not as flavorful as many others, certainly refreshing. Nice copper color, thin head, nice and hoppy.
