RblWthACoz (959), Brooklyn, New York, USA Feb 12, 2008 Pours a slightly ruby hued amber that carries a decent creme head that falls after a short while. Nose is subdued with minor leafy character to it. Flavor is nice and full with great earthy tones with an interesting level of funk to it. Gives a very nice consistent and even flavor profile. Smooth on the feel. Good level of massaging carbonation. Extremely drinkable. A very nice red ale. Another New England Brewing production that could easily turn people on to craft brew.
Odyn (123), USA Jun 16, 2008 Great orange-amber color with a slight spiciness on the nose. Very nice creamy taste with very mild hoppiness and a well balanced body. Highly drinkable and gets better with each sip!! mar (470), Dallas, Texas, USA May 13, 2008 can courtesy of jjpm74. deep amber pour with a huge cream head. slight hoppy/spicy scent. thicker than i was expecting with a huge malt flavor that needs to be balanced out by a little hops. SuzyGreenberg (768), Seattle, Washington, USA May 13, 2008 12 oz. can - thanks to jjpm74 for the bonus; hazy amber with huge white head out of the can; malty aromas are soapy and sweet; a little bland, but a simple malty beer full of sweet, nutty flavors; easy drinking and a great little session brew wavelength (6), USA does not count Apr 29, 2008 Was expecting an Amber, but discovered it is a California Common. Kitchen smells on the nose: carrots boiling in water, apple sauce, even a little pine cleaner. The taste shows me plain grits/cream of wheat and vegetable broth. This beer feels closed up, as if it’s not living up to its potential.
audio pairing: "Tom’s Diner" - Suzanne Vega (originall, non-dance mix) Zinister (812), Houston, Texas, USA Apr 29, 2008 Much thanks to jjpm74 for this can. Pours a reddish amber with very small head. Nose is isopropyl alcohol and bready malts...that’s all I get. Flavor is spiced malts, vegetables, toast and white grapes...interesting mix. Body is nice with good carbonation. Thanks John!
