Dark brown -amber color, with a mild toasted malt nose, with a hint of caramel, faint fruity accent in the aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate wit a toasted, caramelized malt character, with a light biscuity, grainy malt accent, with some fruity, raisiny, toffee flavors, a floral hop leafiness accent, leading towards a malt, faint lingering hop bitterness finish.

On tap. Poured a dark brown color with a small tan head. Aroma of malt and caramel. Flavor of caramel and a slight floral hop note. A little lacking in my opinion.

On the program at the festival they referred to this as <i>Fire Chief Red Lager</i>, but the RB Milwaukee site says it’s an ale, and I believe the latter. It poured a clear orange/amber body with a a good head that did some slippery lacing. The nose was sweet and worty with a touch of earthy bitterness. The flavor was caramel, apple, and a bit more of that bitterness. Sessionable.<br /><br /><font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/events-detail.asp?eventID=7155><u>First Annual RockFest, Rock Bottom Chicago, 3/22,2008</u></a><font size=-1><br />

&#40;Milwaukee - 5/7/07&#41; Amber to copper color with a small wispy white head. Toasted malt, caramel, fresh dough and a hint of citric hops. Very light nose. LIght sweet toasted malt and touch of dark candi. A few grains seem to float about, but a very light amber in any book.
