| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 14/20 | Jun 28, 2002 Aroma is malty, with hints of vanilla, banana and nectarine. A good rust color, creamy head and a decent emblem earns this a superlative appearance rating. Flavor is mellow, a little buttery, with similar fruit notes as the aroma. Outstanding palate and mouthfeel, with the hops aftertaste building somewhat -- only trifling complaints here about a little metallic twang from the malting. An unexpected quality find on a Tennessee Sunday night in the hotel lounge. lukmcd (4), USA does not count | 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 2/5 | 18/20 | Jun 11, 2007 Very Clean, Light taste, A great introduction to better beerscaramel, amber, clear, white foam, frothy, medium sweetness, medium bitterness, light body, thin feel, average carbonation, Libeerian (209), Garner, North Carolina, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 9, 2003 Beautiful clear copper beer with a frothy head. Malty flavor with a hoppy finish but needs a bit more bitterness for the style. IneedAbuheer (69), Ingleside, Illinois, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 1, 2002 Had this on draft at the brewery and was very satisfied (also enjoyed the Bearbottom Stout from this brewer as well). A malty red with it’s only possible drawback being a lack of sweetness. Very good flavor nonetheless - a good red in my book. Shag (1923), Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 15, 2003 Aroma is fairly non existent. Appearance is a brownish red with decent lacing. Flavor is hopped with some sourness. Palate is a little watery and a touch bitter. Not a bad beer for something to sip on but nothing amazing at all. Wiseblood (658), Clarksville, Tennessee, USA

Sweet and fruity, with a slight bitter finish,somewhat similar to a Belgian style ale. Flavors were good, but didn't seem to last long enough to appreciate them. jgb9348 (2499), Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia, USA
