COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Deserving of its name, this red/amber colored ale is our strongest brew. Crystal and caramel malts contribute to a balance of sweetness and smoothness.

A - nice reddish caramel with no head. Very effervescent. S - simple red. Really. Mineral water, caramel malts give it simple sweetness. Some light grassy hops. M - medium light body with medium carb, some bitterness. T - tastes like a red. But with an acetone twist. Bitter grassy hops and light distilled vodka taste lead to a caramel malt background. End is mineral water and acetone. O - a simple bitter red

Draft. Amber/brown with thin off white head. Aroma of citrus, caramel, and malt. Medium body, caramel, amber malt, some hop bitterness, and a hint of alcohol. One of the better reds I’ve had.

nuplastikk (5181) - Madison, Wisconsin, USA - JUL 26, 2013
On tap at the source. Unfiltered brown-orange body, thin oily non-head. Slow rising carbonation bubbles within. Mild, mellow malt aroma. Big amber tones, but not as sticky or sweet as i would’ve expected. Hefty clean malt body, maybe a pinch of honey which really smooths out the amber malt. Rich malt, but not so much hop depth. Massively hefty ale, smooth on the palate but heavy in the stomach. Unique honey edges.

phaleslu (7831) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - AUG 1, 2011
Draft at the brewpub. Pours an attractive, clear reddish-amber with a small off-white head. Nose of caramel malts, grassy hops, fresh plums, and sweet cereal grains. Flavor of caramel and some toasted malts, ripe pit fruit, grassy hops, and sweet bread. Light-bodied, with a sweet, malty mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Only one of the 4 beers available at the brewpub (at the time) that had any noticeable hop character. Not a bad amber ale.

SrSilliGose (3326) - pouring bus, New Brunswick, CANADA - AUG 15, 2009
Tap at the brewpub. Pours a clear amber red with a small offwhite head. Caramel, crisp hops and bread notes. Smooth and refreshing.

Ughsmash (7408) - Pewaukee, Wisconsin, USA - AUG 28, 2008
On tap at Minocqua. Poured deeper reddish-amber with a short cap of white head. The aroma was sweet with medium-skinned fruits and honey along with a touch of rye.. more of the caramel on the back of the nose. The flavor was rich and very sweet with candied plums and caramel accented by light smoke and a medicinal bitterness (took it down a notch).. sweet, juicy finish. Shy of medium-bodied on the palate with high carbonation.. the sweetness clashed with the carbonation at times. OK.

phishpond417 (2088) - Madison, Wisconsin, USA - JUN 17, 2008
Pours a bright, clear amber colour with a noticeably small white head. Aroma is pleasent, soft caramel, lightly roasted malts, nugget (sp?) and wood. Taste is slightly metallicy, pleasent hop character with generous amount of rich malts. Finishes off dry.

kmeves (1098) - Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, USA - AUG 25, 2007
Pour is orangish amber that produces a small thin white head. Aroma is caramel, domestic hop and a bit "tinny". Taste is sweet and balanced with a good deal of Simcoe bitteness. Medium bodied with good carbonation. Get rid of the metallic flaw and this is probably a first rate American Amber.

Skyview (5345) - Papoose Jct, Minnesota, USA - JUL 3, 2007
On tap at the brewpub in the northwoods of Wisconsin, this beer pours a clear orange amber brew with a thin off-white head that dissolves to a fine film and small white ring. Aroma of light caramel, malty, and a touch of flowery hops. Taste is light carbonated, medium bodied and a little sweet. Finish has a sweet aftertaste and then a lingering bitterness.
