Pours a fairly large thick head. Dark red color. Bit of chill haze perhaps? Aroma starts out like that of cream, with an ever so slight sourness to it. Micro fine carbonation bubbles. While the flavor has traits of what you’d expect from a red, it’s more along the lines of a brown ale to me with slight banana-esque lingering aftertaste. Stale body perhaps? (It was on the close-out shelf afterall)

Dec 24, 2009 (12 ounce bottle - pint glass) Pours a red amber color. Has a bread malt taste with small notes of caramel. Taste is a bread malt with tastes of cherries, caramel and a little roasted malt. Medium carbonation, oily creamy texture, and the finish is unpleasant.

Dec 22, 2009 I like it. It’s cheap, looks good, and for the price it’s drinkable. On a budget I would get this beer again.

Dec 5, 2009 Bottle. Pour is light clear copper. White head. Aroma is not much; light malt mostly with a touch of hop. Flavor is smooth and so much lighter than I remember. Its really a pretty light malt and faint hop flavor.

Nov 24, 2009 Pours clear dark amber almost red color. Smells of strong dark malts. Very smooth going down with dark malt flavor. Not my favorite but a good beer nonetheless.

Nov 21, 2009 Bottle. This was one of my beers of choice when I was in college. So I may rate it a little higher then it deserves, but then again it is a good beer. Nice balance in the flavor. Great amber color. Just a good beer.

Nov 16, 2009 Clear amber pour, frothy head diminishing to a spotty lace. Generally nutty malt aroma. Sweet, somewhat smoky toffee malts, generally spoiled by a staleness lurking in the background and carrying into the finish. Medium body, refreshing.
