Can from Total Wine in Folsom, CA as "red ale". Pours clear amber with a slight, transient beige head. Aroma seems a little smoky. ? Near med body. Flavor is suggesting smoke to me. Its moderately sweet. Not sure what to say. Smoky?

Man this shit is weird. It smells like caramel and toasted (something), but theres also this weird red Kool-Aid element that I find disconcerting. Millet and buckwheat and corn and quinoa and what in the sweet christ am I drinking right now? These beers all have this weird essence that I cant quite place. Definitely not a fan.

Really interesting...and a shining example as to why you cant make great beer without delicious gluten. Weird grain forward aromas and flavours..I dont even know what Im smelling and tasting...hemp? Flax? Sorghum? Lol. Lots of flavour..just not my thing.

From a big can that says RED on it, not rousse frenchy. Candy light aroma with volatile hints. Looks like darker iced tea with a medium rocky alabaster head. A little ruff there on the uptake, hints of tartness lurking but not in yer face. Some coarseness and leather in there fer sure. Bandaid anybody?
1.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20 Stephane_Houle (220) - - APR 26, 2015
Apparence: D?une couleur caramel foncé translucide, elle est coiffée d?une mousse moyenne d?une durée moyenne. Légère effervescence avec des bulles de petite taille.
Arômes: Au nez, ce sont des arômes de figues et des légères notes caramel.
Saveurs: En bouche, cest un corps léger. Au goût, cest des flaveurs de céréales légèrement caramélisé. Finale courte, avec aucune effervescence et idem pour lamertume.
Commentaires: Pour les personnes allergiques au gluten, cest un produit très intéressant. Pour les autres, vous pouvez trouver définitivement plus goûteux ailleurs facilement surtout si vous désirez une bière qui a quelque chose à offrir ... nimporte quoi.

Can at CiderWISE, pours a dark red with a small off-white head. Nose is like that of a conventional amber, with toasted malt and bready caramel. Flavour is along the same lines, with toasted malt, bready caramel and a decent hop punch to balance. Surprisingly good, with a good balance of hops and grains. Quite nice.

Can - Malty caramel with a touch of twig. Clear brown copper with a decent light brown head. Toffee and twig with a nice toast dry finish. Not bad.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20 JaKeAFC (782) - ITALY - MAR 14, 2015
35 cl bottle. Red to burgundy color, short offwhite head. Aroma of burnt wood and chestnut, hints of caramel. Taste slightly bitter. Light body, low carbonation. Some apple & plum in the finish, short dry finish. Weird.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 Boutip (5272) - Gatineau, Quebec, CANADA - MAR 13, 2015
Can: Poured a clear brown color ale with a medium size foamy head with OK retention and small lacing. Aroma of light grainy malt base with dry caramel notes. Taste is also a mix of dry caramel malt with some grainy notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Standard red ale with limited hops and more grainy malt base than usual due to use of alternate grains.

UPDATED: OCT 11, 2015 4-pack of cans from my local Métro store. Pours a clean dark amber colour with a big frothy-creamy beige head, great retention and thick lacing. Some nice aromas of roasted malts (or whatever grain is burnt) with the sweetness of caramel. At times, some grassiness from the hops. The taste is a little different, like most gluten-free brews but had their typical apple flavours in the finish with a little dryness. Hints of nuts are fighting to show. Goes down nicely like most of their beers. Pretty decent for the style, for a g-free one.
