| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Jun 27, 2003 Aroma a bit toasty, somewhat sour. Pours a rootbeer/cola color, slight but lasting head. Flavor is not what I'd consider balanced, with far more malt flavors than hops. A bit of chocolate malt is detectable. Much better than Killian's, I must say. edden (927), cow- lumbus, Ohio, USA

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | May 23, 2003 Lookd like a cherry coke, but with less carbonation. Tastes of dark roast malt, coffee, and hops. A little more carbonation would help mouthfeel. Not a great beer, but better than I expected after reading the other reviews. labattblueleaf (225), Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | May 14, 2003 Tastes like a light amber ale. Really, rather bland and relatively uncarbonated to the taste. AustinMilbarge (681), Denver, Colorado, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | May 7, 2003 On the lighter side of brown with a little bit of a raspberry hue. Quickly diminishing head. Slightly creamy. Not much carbonation to speak of. The aroma is similar to that of a nut brown, as in nutty and brown ale-y. Fairly bland, with a little bit a of a metallic after-taste. hennes (932), Fountain, Michigan, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Mar 28, 2003 A hell of a lot better than Pete's red rush, but still mediocre fare. Some nicer roasted and pea-nutty flavors in there, all up front - the thing fades toward stomach acid after awhile. Crash (449), Macomb, Illinois, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Mar 22, 2003 It actually tasted red to me. Can't really explain it but, I thought it was OK.
