I think the weakest in their lineup, particular as only taste was some caramel malt and, but people ask for a red.Faint aroma, faint bitterness finish. Bit dry aftertaste with sugar.At the brewpub.

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Dec 10, 2005 Very mild aroma offers crystal malt and herbal hops. Clear amber-tan coloured body with a low but lasting, off white head. Biscuity malts are joined by crystal malts with some herbal hops and mild bitterness. Pleasant if undifferentiated from the pack. Medium light body with moderate carbonation. Sampled at GABF 2005. gws57 (1138), Saint Charles, Illinois, USA

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 1, 2005 A good Amber/Red, some good body and color. Not much head. Goes great with the Butcher’s Challenge. TheDean (785), MIlwaukee, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 21, 2004 One of the two better beers I had at this brew pub. Tasty with a bit of fruit taste to it. Nothing stellar, but nothing at this brew pub is. ElGaucho (1730), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 4/5 | 8/20 | Jun 2, 2004 Faint roasted malt aroma. Mostly red in color; rust. Light tan, diminishing head. Roasted malt flavor. Undercarbonated. No hops. If this was cask-conditioned or a light I might understand its understated blandness. It might compare well with either Sam Adams Light or Leinie’s Amber light. $3.25 for a 22oz bottle? Disappointing. jewedekind (450), Middleton, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 5, 2004 Well made red ale with caramel malt predominating. Nothing especially great or noteworthy. Quite drinkable muzzlehatch (4427), Burlington, Vermont, USA
