Mar 19, 2006 Bottled as Cottonwood Irish Style Red Ale. Bad aroma, shady murky brown apperance, and sour malt taste.... not that good. Maybe this was a bad bottle, or maybe just a failure on the part of Carolina Beer’s marketing strategy. Before this, I couldn’t say I had ever had a "bad" Cottonwood, oh well....

Oct 15, 2005 (Knoxville Brewers’ Jam). Pours red-copper with off-white head. The aroma is toast and caramel. The flavor is light honey, toasted malt, and barley with very subtle hoppiness. One of the better reds I’ve had lately.

Jun 18, 2005 Nice clear mahogany with a quickly fading head. Aroma of caramel and a touch of light smoke. Flavor has notes of toasted malt, caramel and some peat. Only moderately sweet, has a touch of bitterness. Medium body with spritzy carbonation. No lacing or head retention. Not bad, just very average.

Mar 31, 2005 Picked up a six of this stuff on sale after St. Patty’s day. It poured a nice medium, reddish-brown with a medium head. Very earthy aroma, mild hops, with an overall sweet-ish, malty flavor though. Kind of strange for an ale. Also, not particularly lively on the palate. In fact it finished a little watery. I’d say it was worth the sale price for the six.

Mar 22, 2005 Bottle. Pours red, with a very thin white head. Aroma is malty. Flavor is thin, but malty and there is little if any bitterness. Very average beer of this style.
Earlier Rating: 8/1/2003 Total Score: 2.8
Big white head, red amber color. Slightly malty,
hoppy aroma. Off flavor--rotten taste. Ruins the finish
of the beer.
