| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 4, 2008 Clear, garnet-hued, smallish head, dunnish, plenty carbonated... Malt dominates the nose, flushes out rosy, fresh, fruity associations, some cherry, berry, grape...with grain below. Lovely stuff. Fills the mouth happily and spreads deliciousness. Well-rounded, malt infused, little hops, and just plain juicy. Tons of fruity flavor, not from hops, but malt and yeast. Most wine-like. Medium-bodied, with a terse grainy texture, leading into the finish, with remains malty, and ultimately dry. Urges further drinking. Very tasty ale. So similar, but superior to amber/red ales. Just the right indgedients went at work here. This is delicious. Loving it. Hope this is a hit for them! ...

Aroma is lightly fruit with a very light funky yeast character. (6+) Flavour is a bit sour and lightly funky, odd fruit character, mild malts, tangy finish. Possibly off or just odd?
