| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 4, 2007 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. realale420 (399), west covina, California, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 8, 2007 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.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 11, 2007 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. Beerlando (2353), Orlando, Florida, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 13, 2007 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. robforbes (1110), Bremerton, Washington, USA

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. doubleo (1121), San Diego, California, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 27, 2008 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.
