BiddleBrau (303), Midland Park, New Jersey, USA Aug 12, 2009 Amber with thin head that disappated quickly. Little to no aroma. Toasty sweet with a bit of a hop bite and slightly astringent. Palate is average. On tap at RB, Indianapolis. ben4321 (946), Rockville, Maryland, USA May 13, 2009 Location: I venture into the Rock Bottom Bethesda every now and again because it is so close, this is one of their standard offerings, and I’ve had it a few times on tap
Overall Impression:
I actually think that this one is the best of their standard offerings. For it’s style it’s at lease a solid C, while the rest of the Rock Bottom Bethesda always available beers , in my opinion, are at best D+ beers. It is a little thin though. nickd717 (1273), Palo Alto, California, USA Feb 26, 2009 Tap at Bethesda location. Amber color, caramel malt on the aroma, caramel malt and mild English-style hops on the flavor. Body a little light. Nothing special, just an amber/red ale. patrick767 (2016), fort wayne, Indiana, USA Feb 21, 2009 draft at the downtown Indy brewpub - Pours amber and laces well. It has a light caramel malt aroma. The flavor is sweet caramel malt with some mild hops. It has a light body and light carbonation. It’s an average session brew, no more. Nate (2533), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 22, 2008 From draught sample at Bethesda. Light hoppy aroma with just a bit of dull herbal hops. Not very aromatic. Medium amber with light haze and small off-white head. Medium-light watery body with medium carbonation. Starts with carbonic acidity an a bit of pale malt. Neutral fruity character before a heavy hit of hop bitterness. Bitter is too harsh in the finish and is not balanced. Astringent after. shendrix (478), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA Feb 1, 2008 A nicely refreshing amber, tasting of caramel with nuts and dark fruit. Good side to a burger. kp (8400), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Sep 1, 2007 Updated: Nov 25, 2007Name: Raccoon Red - Indy

alexanderj (2204), Chino Hills, California, USA Aug 1, 2007 On draft at Bethesda location, have had it numerous times. Liked it today more than ever before. Had a nice caramel/toffee, nuts and fruit. Some light hop bittering. Decent palate. Sweet flavor, but I liked that element.
