| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 5/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | May 27, 2003 Caramel nose. Good head and lace. Medium body that is very malty. Could be more hoppy and drier IMO. Too marzen like for an ale gsmitty80 (646), Washington DC, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 17, 2003 This was my second favorite beer out of the sampler case. Nice color and frothy head. Goes down smoothly. Nate (2554), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Mar 18, 2003 Bit of sour caramel and gluey tartness on the nose. Flat hops and low sweetness. Rubbery. Big off-white foamy lacing head. Amber-brown hazy liquid. Medium carb & body - has a little substance. Tastes a lot like an altbier. Decent malty character with low hops and nice nutty bitterness. Tart nutty finish and after. Dry. beerluvindave (194), Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 2, 2003 Very good ale, this is what they're supposed to taste like! Nice color and smooth floral flavor balance with malt. Yankovitch333 (612), Chesapeake City, Maryland, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 5, 2003 Reddish color. Nice head. Good clean flavor. Slightly malty. But I don't like this out of a bottle. SKUNKY! Every time I've had it from a bottle it's terrible. This is a draft only beer. jgb9348 (2511), Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Jan 10, 2003 Amber red colour (hence the name!), medium strong smell...sweet, sour and a bit pungent! notalush (2676), Denver, Colorado, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Jan 8, 2003 This is like a watered-down version of their winter ale. The winter ale is good, but ’watered-down’ it"s just plain bad. apoptosis (1316), Long Island, New York, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jan 8, 2003 Malty, but very thin-flavored. Not very bitter or spicy or anything at all that stands out in this beer. Considering the $8/6-pack price tag, it’s a very disappointing beer. Medium amber body, a little head.
