iowaherkeye (1832), Bakersfield, California, USA Aug 28, 2009 On tap @ the brewpub. Clear reddish brown with a small beige head, low retention. Aroma of biscuity malts, faint earthy caramel, and something kinda old. Flavor is improved with caramel and toasted malts up front with some light citrus hops and just a tinge of pine. Bitterness peaked at a 2-3. Moderate carbonation with a medium body. Not too bad for a red. arrogantb (695), Denver, Colorado, USA Feb 18, 2009 22oz bottle courtesy of solomon420. Nice red-orange color. Smells like a standard amber, ho-hum. Taste has a slight hop bitterness some malt, nothing too strong but it is very drinkable. Oddly despite the fact that the flavor and smell are so-so for the style the drinkabilityis good, this is probably a great keg beer.

Pours deep amber with a tan head. Nose is rich and malty with a hoppy undertone. Taste is quite hoppy with a nice balanced malty edge. Pretty damn nice amber. Ungstrup (14740), Frederiksberg, Denmark Oct 21, 2008 Bottled. A hazy red beer with an orangey head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel and oranges. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of fruit - especially peaches and oranges, leading to a dry finish where notes of caramel and fruit lingers. Thanks Papsoe for sharing. nqualls (1429), Nashville, Tennessee, USA Sep 23, 2008 On tap. Poured a slightly hazy red color with a one finger whitish head. Aroma was floral and piney with a slight malt note. Flavor was sweet malt with a pine taste and a dry finish. Medium body with mild carbonation. Rogueone (506), I F&ckin’ hate those guys from, Ohio, USA Jun 2, 2008 Sampled at Alan’s HSC initiation, thanks Dogbrick: Not the most memorable beer, I’d say it’s pretty average. Light amber pour, and a light-bodied beer. Sweet caramel malts dominate throughout, but finish dry. ThomasE (5179), Copenhagen, Denmark May 15, 2008 Hazy amber colour with an off white head. Light caramel sweet and hoppy fruity and piney aroma. Hoppy, piney and orange fruity flavor with sweet malty notes. Dry, hoppy finish. riversideAK (2648), Shoreline, Washington, USA Apr 20, 2008 Orange amber colored brew with a thin tan head. Caramel and some fruit in the aroma. Maybe some English malts too. The flavor is a nice moderate sweetness with hints of fruit, caramel and English malt with an earthy floral bitterness in the finish. Fruit flavor here is apple or grape, could not decide which one. Floral/pine finish. Not just a run of the mill amber. Pretty solid.
