Pjones6738 (500), Madison, Wisconsin, USA Jun 27, 2003 This red had a creamy head, with a nice caramel scent and flavor. Not too complex, but a good solid beer. cb (809), Wheat Ridge, Colorado, USA Mar 9, 2003 Very full flavor, very malty. Dark amber hue. Rich burnt caramel flavor and aroma, just a hint of bitter. CaptainCougar (5379), Rockville, Maryland, USA Jan 26, 2003 Toasted light ruby color with a small cream head. Good malty aroma and flavor backbone. Well-balanced with a touch of German hops. Good malt and good beer. GermanBrews76 (667), Eugene, Oregon, USA Jan 13, 2003 Very red, little tiny head. A bit of a caramel nose (imagine that!?) but a good deal more floral & bitter than any of rowland’’s others. Definite hop presence. Hints of vanilla followed by subdued floral notes & a nice bitter finish. Good balance of course. muzzlehatch (4427), Burlington, Vermont, USA Dec 29, 2002 It’s an ale, so I’m not surprised that its a little heavier and fuller than most of the Calumet lagers; but it’s missing the characteristic strong malty sweetness and light tanginess that I like in most of the Rowlands’ other beers. Stick to lagers, Bob! THE BEER BARON (275), Wisconsin, USA Mar 29, 2001 Try it. The Friar99 (222), Wisconsin, USA Mar 29, 2001 Once again Rowland’s brews another quality beer. Very malty a little on the bitter side, but I still like it.
