| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 26, 2009 Tap at the brewpub. Amber/reddish color, had a decent lasting white head. Very nice caramelly, fruity aroma, dark friuts that is. Nice malt base to it, sweet, rich with a good shot of hops in the finish, very tasty brew, might have a new brewer or something but the beers are tasting much better than the last time I had them.

| 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.

| 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 (1854), 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. MIBRomeo (1965), Wisconsin, USA

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 26, 2007 Pours a dark clean amber with a fairly large off white head that fades rather quickly. Aroma has some hints of nuts, malts, and hops. Flavor is metallic malts, bitter hops, and light nutty hints. Finish is quite dry and bitter. Not bad but nothing special.

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jul 12, 2005 Copper color with a smaller beige head. Caramel and licorice aromas. Lots of licorice aromas. Licorice finds its way into the flavors as well. To much licorice for me. Ughsmash (4046), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jul 31, 2007 Bottle thanks to Skyview! Poured clear medium orange with a short, uniform cap of beige head. Aroma was of over-the-top artificially-sweetened caramel, lightly-toasted.. not sure where the "high hop aroma" is, but there was mild pine and grassy action going on. Flavor was nuttier than the aroma.. still sweet with lots of caramel and some fruit juices flare just before the finish.. mild herbal and grassy bitterness. Lighter-bodied, somewhat watery on the front half of the palate.. left a slick, but medium-length sweet finish. This was OK, and certainly drinkable.
