Nov 5, 2009 Bottle… October ‘09 O-Town Throwdown!… Clear amber ale with a small, fluffy, white head. The nose is sweet, medicinal and metallic. Medium-bodied with fizzy carbonation. The flavor is balanced and a hint acidic, but otherwise, there’s really nothing going on. Crisp, tangy finish. Bottle courtesy of juiceisloose!

Oct 29, 2009 Bottle. Amber pour. Lots of cereal malt and hops. Flavor is pretty standard and boring. Go Big Blue? LOL!

Oct 10, 2009 Bottle sample at the Red Ale tasting at Blacklick Wine & Spirits on 10/8/09. Pours a clear orange/copper with a thin off-white head. Grainy and caramel malts in the nose with a bit of crisp hop. Creamy and fruity flavor with caramel malt before a bitter finish. Not very red for a red ale and pretty average overall.

Sep 12, 2009 Reddish amber color with a disappating white head. The apple and appircot fruitiness in the nose was overpowered by the hair spray/alcohol. Harsh raw hops with some grass and orange zest, over some apple sauce and toasted malt. Good marketing to OSU fans, but really not a very interesting beer.

Sep 3, 2009 12oz bottle from BeerVirgin72 - thanks, Dawn! Nice translucent reddish pour with a moderate head. Nose is toasted malts with just a trace of hops for balance. The body was medium, the finish a bit thin. But I thought it was generally a nicely flavorable version of the style, even if not particularly complex. Not bad at all.
