Commercial Description:
Red Tail Ale - The Legend is our flagship brand. It is brewed in the traditional "old world" manner, using premium two-row malted barley, hops and our own special proprietary yeast strain. It is an amber ale with a rich complex refreshing flavor and a crisp dry finish. Red Tail Ale is "Bottle Conditioned." Like good wine, Red Tail Ale is a perfect complement to fine dining.

Medium amber with small head which fades fast. Aroma is lightly malty, with a herbal slightly spicy hop presence. Flavor is slightly grassy, metallic, and light caramel malt. Crisp finish but left a slightly wierd aftertaste.

Bottle - Pours a darkish amber in color with a small off-white head that disappeared quickly. Aroma was not strong, but faintly of hops. Flavor is medium hoppy without much malt balance. Finish is clean and slightly bitter. An OK beer; drinkable, but not a really strong effort.

Good, but one of the weaker offerings from this good brewer. It’s their flagship ale so it’s a little disappointing to see them catering to the mainstream so heavily. Do try their other beers such as Blue Heron, White Hawk, And Eye of Hawk which are much better representations of what this company can do.

this is a great beer. i drank it under the name "reggae on the river", and yes, it was great. it is very drinkable, not too bitter. as far as my ales go, i’m still an amateur but this is definetly one of the finest.

Nice and smooth. Has a nice burnt amber color to it. Light hops on the sweet side of things. Great balanced beer.

12 oz bottle.
Pours clear amber with a 1" head and lots of tiny bubbles.
head is short lived and no lacing is left behind.
Aroma is slightly hoppy, slightly sweet.
Flavor has a sweet start, with some citrus hops at the end.
Crisp finish.
Average.

Pours amber with a huge frothy light brown head and many fast-rising bubbles. Aroma is sweet and sour malt with a hop nose and some bitter citrus notes. Sweetly soured malty flavor with a buttery smoothness and creaminess to it and finishes a little hoppy. Some fair and thick lacing. Palate is emdium-bodied and crisp, a little fizzy towards the end.
