reddish amber in color. Thick, cream colored head with average stamina. Sweet, malty aroma, with hints of tea. Age may have played a part in it, but the taste was sub-par. Very stale and bitter with an awful aftertaste...rotten tobacco.

Malty sweet aroma, big initial head but the beer lacks carbonation. Reddish amber hue, flat tasting with very little hop presence.

Ok this is the most up and down beer I have ever had. To start out it looks like an average "red" beer, Orange/red/brown color with a small dissipating head. Then I took a sniff. Holy shit this stuff stinks.. I can’t say exactly what the smell is but it is really bad. But I forced myself to continue and take a drink, and SUPRISE it was pretty good. Oveerripe berries and a little nuttiness, somewhat creamy. If they could get this stuff smelling better it would be a damned good beer.

I’ll take one of these over a Killian’s any day! Too bad it’s not as readily available, especially here in the South.

Sweet and thick. A good malty beer.

Tasted at the Barrelhouse Brewing Company Microbrew Fest on November 9. This was a great beer to end the evening with. Crooked River’s beers seem to be hit-or-miss a lot of times but this is definitely one of the better ones. I can see keeping this one stocked for myself and for company. Reddish-orange with a medium light beige head. Malty aroma. Malt character is just enough that it is not syrupy or overly sweet. I really enjoyed this.

Iced tea appearance, orange/gold body and a lightly frothy head. A super-roasty aroma hits as soon as the top comes off. Buttery, lightly nutty, and I’m picking up what I think is a seafood odor...maybe oysters? Definitely interesting, and moderately pleasing. Roasty malt up front, with a slight, cidery tanginess. Hops are nearly absent. Relatively creamy texture. The more I drink this beer the more I think of Red Lobster. Weird. A steal around here at $6.99 for a 12...makes for a nice tailgate beer.

Pretty interesting mix of flavors, a little sweet, a little sour, and a touch bitter. Very malty aroma which is somewhat misleading in that the body is a bit watery. The finish could be a bit crisper. This is still a pretty good beer though.
