| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Aug 3, 2006 Some floweriness and a bit of sweet malts in this thin, not very flavourful beer. Very average. Why do they sell them in these huge bombers...? DarkStar22769 (100), Ontario, Canada
| 1.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 4/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 5/20 | Jun 25, 2006 Okay...I’m sorry, I thought it was a beer I was purchasing. The aroma was way off...in both bottles. It just smelled the way a thud would feel. The colour, had it been a brown ale, would have been charming. It was a hazy ruddy brown. Flavour? Metallic, syrupy, salty. Definitely salty. I give it an overall 5 because the SO was adamant against pouring it down the drain and she chose to suffer it. Save your money. spish (12), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 14, 2006 a new favorite! surprisingly refreshing with a slight tang to it’s flavor. pours a cloudy medium amber colour with a light head that dissipates quickly along with it’s carbonation. has a bit of a pucker factor and a pleasing finish. hints of fruit, perhaps apricot? pootzboy (1048), Hawgville, Ontario, Canada
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jan 3, 2006 Updated: Jun 15, 2006 bottle: Pours a dark cola-red with a fair off- white cap that has modest retention...some lacing. Aromas of caramalt over a distinct sour/lactal tonewhich seems to be this brewer’s signature....wierd! Tastes only slightly better than it smells weak bodied soapy texture. Malty- toasty, sweet, some cocoa then this God-awful sour-veggy taste....I think its the hops trying to make an appearance but it tastes and smells like celery..weird!

| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Sep 4, 2005 Draught at BeerBistro - 2005 Golden Tap Awards. Dark ruby with a small white head. Strange aroma - like caramel that has gone slightly bad & sour. Flavour is OK, with some coffee and caramel and a mildly bitter finish. Similar to their Celtic, but not nearly as good. blankboy (3204), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Aug 24, 2005 Draught at 2005 Golden Tap Awards at BeerBistro. Pours a clear dark ruby with an average white head. Aroma of sweet malt and sour apple. Taste of metallic caramel malt -- this is not a good taste! Avoid.

| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Aug 20, 2005 Draught. Sampled at BeerBistro - 2005 GTA Golden Tap Awards. Poured a deep coppery red with an average white head. Aroma was very harsh - sour cranberry juice, sugary roast malt, also a bit sour, a small quantity of very strong green hops as well. Taste - again sour cranberry or black currant, brown sugary medium roasted malt, some balancing hops - overall a bit metallic. Mouthfeel was thin and oily. I didn’t finish my sample - this one’s all over the place and not enough anything. Yet another beer with "Red" in the name to avoid.
