| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Nov 18, 2008 Draft… Cloudy blood-red lager with a small, creamy, pink head. Good retention. Ultra-restrained toffee and caramel nose. Medium to full-bodied with lively carbonation. Malty, fruity flavor provides sweet toffee notes alongside very modest hopping that provides a veneer of balance. Lightly bitter, astringent finish. Naven (873), Poway, California, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Nov 1, 2008 Bottle. Thanks Bartzilla! Surprised at the low scores for this one. I thought it was tasty. Awesome red pour. Rich, malty and nicely hopped. Reminded me of Arrogant Bastard. douglas88 (1605), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 31, 2008 Bomber thanks to John. Pours...well you know, a blood red color with a medium pink head. The aroma is caramel, malts and light hops. The flavor is mostly dominated by a rich caramel malt with some balance between the sweetness achieved by a large bitter hop presence. A nice example of the style. AmEricanbrew (1838), Washington DC, USA

| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Oct 30, 2008 poured froma 22oz bottle at first I was like what the hell is this This beer definitely wins on appearance for the name, pours a blood red with a thin white head. Starts to go downhill after that. Aroma is almost non existent, just some bread dough and hint of fruit. Taste is malty and fruit tart. Didn’t really wime over.

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Oct 29, 2008 Draught. Pours a brilliant, clear, cranberry red with a pinkish linen white head that quickly disappeared. This is probably the reddest beer I have ever seen. Mild aroma of malt. The flavor is weak malt with some astringent hops. There is also an accompanying off-taste that I cannot identify. I didn’t like this one all that much and have no interest in re-visiting it.

| 1.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 6/20 | Oct 28, 2008 This is God-Awful!!! Cotton candy-like head with a raspberry colored body. Subtle aroma of malt...flavor is semi-sweet. Perhaps one could pull a bready-yeasty quality out of this but that is about it. AVOID!!! joeyplush (337), Garnet Valley, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 25, 2008 Surprise! This beer pours raspberry red, with a pinkish head. Aroma has hints of pretzels, and yeast/dough. Taste is malty, with hints of fruit and spice. The finish is long, and slightly bitter. Not a fan of the red color, and once you get past the label on the bottle, the beer overall is pretty unremarkable.
