Commercial Description:
This red ale is brewed with a blend of 3 different malts. It has a malty complexity similar to the special “Sticke” Altbiers brewed on special occasions by brewers in Dusseldorf Germany. The subtle malty sweetness is perfectly balanced by choice German and American hops.

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.

Beautiful clear copper beer with a frothy head. Malty flavor with a hoppy finish but needs a bit more bitterness for the style.

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.

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.

Dark gold with nonexistent head. 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.

Great colour, with a fairly normal smell. Good taste with some detectable malt and hops. Not a bad beer!
