Commercial Description:
This is a full-bodied and malty red ale. A blend of Pacific Northwest hops and three different caramel malts combine to give this beer its unique character. The bitterness is low, making it surprisingly drinkable.

Tap (Columbia). Cherry vanilla and malt aroma. Red-amber color with small head. Lightly sweet cherry vanilla and barley malt flavor with a moderate hops finish. Unusual in that diacetyls are at a minimum - nice fruity irish ale.

Appearance: Cloudy, dark amber body with a thin, creamy off-white head. Smell: Sorry, but the aroma on this one was nonexistent. Taste: An Irish Ale that’s as simple as they come, with a hint of caramel sweetness and a gentle hop bitterness. Truly a discouraging beer experience. Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Somewhat watery. Drinkability: "Full-bodied and malty..." is a rather dubious claim. I see what they’re going for here; a light, refreshing beer that’s more of a ’caricature’ of the style.

Growler. Nice fiery orange, small bubbles standing in for a head. Orange citrus and malt aroma - mild. Nice fresh malt taste - surprisingly fresh tasting given that the growler was three weeks old. Standard red/amber/irish ale, but very refreshing and drinkable.

Slight red in color with a small white head. Tasted like a standard mass produced red ale. Not much hops.

Draught at Liberty Taproom in Columbia. Pours red orange with a small ivory head. The aroma is dreid apricots, some sweet cookie, and some diacetyl. The flavor is apricot and caramel with some general hop bitterness and light diacetyl. Clean finish. Reasonable brew.

Coppery red, thin off white head. Light nutty malt aromas that also had faint hints of earth. Not much more here in flavor either. Really struggled just to rate it. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, drying finish. This place needs help...

This red ale was enjoyed at dinner on 7/6. It was a hazy reddish deep copper in color. The hops flavors helped save this beverage. It was not as good as Clyde’s pale Ale. It was very palin and somewhat thin. It lacked body and complexity.
