mild aroma--caramel, lemon, pepper. cloudy pale amber with minimum head. (with how dark Ful Sail’s amber is, to have the red this light is odd.) thin flavor--a more comlex sission, with carmel, resin, peat.

Bottle poured a hazy deep red color with a nice thick tan head. The aroma had big sweet caramel with some roastiness and just a touch of hops. Flavor was very malt dominated with a good bitterness to balance. Nice semi sweet finish.

22 oz. bottle - pours dark amber with a slight, creamy head; a little bitter at first taste, but a nice, heavy amber ale

Bottle. Nice dark gold color, medium beige head. Hops and caramel malt in the aroma. Flavor is similar. Pretty refreshing and drinkable.

650 ml bottle from Bottle Barn, santa rosa. I’ve cleansed my tongue with fire after that nasty ass Drakes’ beer! Agh! Reddish amber color with a fizzy white head. Caramel and citrus hoppy aroma. Sweet malty backbone and a bigger bitter bite than I was expecting. Not bad at all.

Courtesy boboski. Dark reddish amber body. No head, just a thin film with a small rim at the edges. Aroma was of caramel malts, brown sugar, and a hint of black cherry. Very appealing. Flavor starts with that same caramelized maltiness, but soft resinous hops soon join the party, adding balance. Smooth, medium body. Soft finish with a hint of bourbon in the aftertaste. Nice brew.

pour is a cloudy brick-red with a medium size tan head. smell of hops, caramel, and a touch of citrus, hay. taste is a bit sour, caramel, and a little bitter. pretty good brew, nice bitterness in the end.

Pours a murky light brown color with a thick, somewhat frothy off-white head that laces the glass as it subsides. I smell raspberries and other red fruits. I also get faint malt smells. Tastes of fruity malts and some hops. Lots of red fruits and berries in this brew. Tastes good. Pretty standard palate, almost a little metallic up front. Subdued carbonation, a bit thick. Not the best red I’ve ever had, but good.
