Commercial Description:
This ale is made with a special roast of caramel malt, which gives it a lovely red hue and subtle caramel flavor. A large amount of hops is added late to the kettle and the fermentor, giving this beer a wonderful floral nose with hints of nectar and citrus carrying through to the palate. 23.6 IBU, 16.35 Plato, 7.65%

From tap at the brewpub. Pours golden amber to dark orange with a small off-white head. Aroma is light caramelish and dry breadish. Fruity, quite hoppy fruity and with a mild phenolic note. Bitter, dry and fruity finish.

Draft at the brewpub. An amber beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma is sweet wtih notes of caramel and some nuts. The flavor is sweet with notes of toffee, malt, and some nuts. Fine, but not very exciting.

22oz bottle enjoyed after a long day walking around Disneyland! Poured a deep and clear orange color with a small sized off white head. Aromas of caramel with some citrus. Tastes of caramel, light citrus, and biscuit. Malty.

This red ale poured with a thin beige head. There is a thin musty caramel malt flavor with a chalky finish.

4 oz sample from the Blue Frog in Fairfield, CA. This was a thin-bodied beer with a malty carmel taste balanced out with a little bit of hops. One of the better beers I’ve had at the Blue Frog.

On tap at groggery. Not much love for the red either. It was malty, but misdirected as the flavors and palate were everywhere.
