rick10485 (53), oneonta, New York, USA Jun 19, 2008 This Ale surprised me. Pour a thick dark amber red, explosive with hoppy aroma. As a red ale, it definitely had signs of an IPA. It takes your tastbuds for a journey and pushes your preconceptions of what a red ale is. Def. not a traditional REd. But is good if you like something different Sammy (3023), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Feb 21, 2008 Reddish tinge to this bottled beer. Good amount of lace and moderate head. It is hoppy more than malty, not a bad red. Malty aroma, doesn’t whiff of c-hop. beastiefan2k (1085), Lawrence (formely NYC), Kansas, USA Oct 23, 2007 Pours with a dark red body, too dark to see through, and a small sticky head, Aroma is hops (piney, sweet, whatever) first then a slightly infected malty Irish Red behind that. Taste is actually kind of light, some spiky sweet hops and a malty backdrop. Light bodied with average carbonation. Just a plain old hop beer with maybe a slight infection. blankboy (2562), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Aug 12, 2007 Bottle. Pours a hazy orange-red with an average size lasting off-white head. Very mild sweet aroma with fruit, sugar and light hops. Flavour’s also sweet with fruit, sugar, caramel malt and very light hops -- it’s quite bland tasting. Average bodied. Just alright, it’s very mediocre. zach8270 (1404), Henrietta, New York, USA May 19, 2007 (bottle - 12 oz) Nice red color with a puffy off-white head. Aroma is light and very floral with a good dose of hops. Flavor has a lot of strong hop notes at the beginning with a citrus and floral middle and a very hoppy, lingering, and bitter finish.
