On draft at brewpub at the south street seaport location. Hazy amber color with hints of toffee and caramel. Refreshing. Pleasantly no off flavors. Nice.

Tap at brew pub. Slightly hazy red. Not much to this one. Amber malt in the aroma and flavor, but a pleasant faint piny hop touch to the flavor. Overall: forgettable, and my least favorite offering by Heartland that night.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 JoeMcPhee (9004) - Toronto, ON, Ontario, CANADA - FEB 20, 2010
Hazy amber pour with a thin white head. The nose is lovely. Rich assertive fruity nose that is loaded with mango and pineapple over a soft toasted malt base. There is a little bit of grapefruity citrus contributing a distinct hoppiness. A nice fruitiness and a kiss of light caramel malt that adds complexity without really getting the way of all of the other yeast/hop derived character. A little bit of pine and a nice tropical sweetness. It doesnt come across as terribly Belgian, but it does come across as pretty tasty nonetheless.

UPDATED: JAN 19, 2010 First rating - YES!!! The aroma is caramel, spicy, yeasty. The spicy, yeasty qualit is a big departure form the standard Red Rooster. The appearance is the exact same, a nice red/amber, off-white head. The flavor is spicy, yeasty, caramel, pepper. The finish is spicy, with a background of caramel sweetness. Decent and enjoyable, but to tell the truth, this experiment didnt bring anything more interesting to the beer.
