Dark red color, and very little head. Sweet aroma. Like a thin/light doppelbock.

This beer poured out a very deep red color with a slightly darker cream head. An aroma of malt and other smells. It had a very sweet taste to it, not normally found in most red ales that I have tried. A little heavier body than most reds. Better than some of their others, but maybe it’s because they were less cute.

Clear, dark-red in color with a healthy head. Aroma is sweet and full of malt. Flavor is also somewhat sweet and creamy. Immediate aftertaste has a roasted malt thing going on. A very nice beer.

Deep red color, nice fluffy head and a strong, malty nose. The flavor is all malty sweetness with an almost grainy after taste. I didn’t get much of a nutty flavor. Okay beer, I guess.

Big malt aroma and flavor w/ a touch of caramel. Very little biterrness. The caramel malt overpowers the beer.

A very delightful red. Nothing special, but a beer you could easily sit down and drink a six pack of and enjoy.

Bright red in color; No head; Malt and candy in the aroma department. Huge malt presence assaults the tongue. Medium to heavy palate. Like a thin barley-wine (Young’s Old Nick). Continues to thin at the 1/2 mark. Drinkable. Better then the rating may indicate.

not enough head. This brewer seems to have a problem with that. This has been one the weaker specimens from the sample pack so far.
