Commercial Description:
J.T.'s Red is a medium bodied ale. It is an easy drinking, malty beer with notes of caramel and honey. Like the Goldenshine, it has a light floral hop flavor.

Clear red color with no head. Malty and sweet aroma. Fairly dusty taste. It struck me as a more raw beer, not well rounded. Bitter. A decent standby.

Creamy off-white ring around the glass, deep orange/red color. Sweet aroma. Nutty watermelon taste. Fairly soft palate... light, EPA style hops some sweetness and a fruit rind finish.

The above would be a pretty cool box-score for a baseball game (or part of one), but it's not so great for a beer. Red. Light malt. Light hops. Tricks you into thinking there's more than there is here. I can't waste more brainpower trying to describe the blandness.

This is JT Whitneys primary beer, and the only one they bottle. Its got the typical red color. Nice malty beer with some caramel taste to it. Tap and bottle are pretty similar tasting.

Very nice slightly hoppy aroma fresh from the tap and an attractive reddish-brown color. Lightly sweet maltiness.

Ahhh...Halloween weekend in Madison, WI. I’m going as Kenneth Lay (Suit, money and handcufs). In the mean time, I am drinking beer, and this beer is reall good. Have to love WI brews.

Ruddy amber color with a smallish light tan head. Smells just like being in a specialty grain malt house - very pleasant. Raw grain caramel flavors dominate. Appears to be some english malt and yeast influences. Quite smooth to the palate, but has some rougher edges that distract from the overall enjoyability. A fairly good ale.

Nice aroma. Reddish color. Smooth creamy-watery palate. Malty flavor with a bit of honey/fruity character. Nice red ale.
