Bottle, reddish orange color. I couldnt get much out of the aroma. Heavy carbonation with apple juice and I guess rice undertones. I am not too impressed with this especially since I thought I paid alot for it.

Pours deep red a little hazy with a tall white head. Light malty aroma with a kind of a wheat aroma. The flavour is very nice light and malty with an olmost bubble gum flavour. Alcohol shows its self mid palate. Cool beer very unique.

Smells like burnt beans or soemthing? Who fucking shit in yo pankaksa? Very red, dark and fairly thick. Very easy, alocohal and very light malt sets in half way in the palate, smoooths out in the taste. Very easy, almost tastes smoked exept it really tastes burnt. A very surprisingly good drink, I would have this regularly. It’s new, so I don’t know if it will be around.

Pour deep amber with an off-white soapy head. The aroma starts off with musty toasted malt, nuttiness, butter, chestnuts and sassafras. Medium crisp mouthfeel with lots of fuzzy carbonation. The flavor starts off nutty and spicy (hops?) with toasted malt, richness without sweetness and a smoothness to everything. The finish is lightly bitter. Nice beer.

Murky yellow-brown-orange color with a fizzy large beige head. Aroma is lemon, honey, wheat, yeast, and lemon peel. Almost somewhere between a Saison and German hefe. Taste is mildly sour with a crisp sweetness and a slight bitter finish. Medium light body with a very fizzy carbonation. Very complex flavors in this beer.

Pours a deep reddish orange. Fine bubbles stay in solution, without rising to the surface, giving the impression of cloudiness. Weird. No head retention at all. Interesting musty bready (red rice?) aroma. Maybe old hops. No floral. Flavor is bready, medium mouth feel, with slight bitterness to finish. Slight diacetyl flavor. Interesting in a subtle way, and nicely balanced, diacetyl doesn’t seem appropriate for this beer. Would be best if it were entirely clean. Would go well with (and I’m not just saying this) sushi.

Hazy gold pour. Aroma of tropical fruit and resinous hops. Wood (cedar?), hops, sake and light toffee. Very solid beer. Tasted really fresh

Although I’m not too crazy about this red ale but it is very unique and should be tried by any beer lover at least once. Has a pleasant aroma and is not short on flavor. In fact there are so many flavors going on it’s a little unsettling. Interesting but mediocre, and a little pricey.

Served in a very interesting glass, it pours a massive frothy head. Pale red in color, floral and faint clove aroma. Sweet flavor with slight cloves and a little bit of coriander perhaps. Not that good.
