Light clear maple with just a touch of lasting foam...simple caramel nose...sour, bitter, woody in the body...dry, cardboardy finish, medium body.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 27, 2004 Ale is hoppy and caramel in flavour. I think this is more a pale ale than say a red ale but maybe they are naming it on colour. Nice full mouthfeel and finish. A good beer. DrnkMcDermott (1861), Downers Grove, Illinois, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 6, 2003 Draft, at Northwoods. Another fizzy and hoppy brew. More of a pale ale in taste. Again, the hops tend to overwhelm what malt there is. ElGaucho (1730), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 2, 2002 Good initial semi-malty, semi-hoppy mouthfeel, but with a rather thin finish. Average to below average head retention. Nice reddish hue. I would happily drink this again while at Northwoods brew pub, but would select something different given a good beer pub selection. kmeves (1081), Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, USA
