2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20 phaleslu (7831) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - DEC 5, 2014
Draft at the brewery. Pours a clear very light orange color, not quite gold and without any depth, with a tiny white head. Notes of sweet bread, straw, vanilla, cracker, dried leaves, and caramel. Light-bodied, with low carbonation and a smooth, thin mouthfeel. This is the most chuggable beer here. Drinks so easy. Just doesnt have much of a flavor or aroma.

12 ounce bottle from Kroger Athens, OH, opened 7/17/14. Pours a clear amber color with a large foamy off-white head. Good head retention. Aroma of toffee, toasted malts, mild stone fruit. The taste is toffee malt, caramel, faint raisin and mild hops. Thin-medium bodied, moderate carbonation, fairly drinkable.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 Shot (296) - Westerville, Ohio, USA - AUG 14, 2014
From a bottle. Pours golden with a fizzy white head that dissipates to a fairly decent lace. Theres a predominant aroma of German ale yeast and a whisper of sweet malt. It definitely tastes like a German ale, but theres also a nuttiness and slight bready tones. Dry finish with a moderate hop presence. Thin mouthfeel. This seems to be a cross between a German ale and a British bitter. Not much flavor or character and not a very memorable brew.

This is a very refreshing take on a red. A little tangy (hoppy?) but I would drink this again.

3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 rondphoto (3042) - Lakeside Park, Kentucky, USA - NOV 8, 2013
Clear copper amber with a 1" head that takes several minutes to reduce to a head cover, swirls of lace. Good looking. Taste is bitter malt that doesnt change through the palate, actually allowing some sweet to finally show late in the finish. Drinkable, but not a very strong contender.
