"A beer to be enjoyed by all. English malts and Santanum hops provide full flavor to this medium bodied red ale. A mild hop character makes this our beer of choice on a hot sunny day."

From tap at brewery. Pours a reddish color with a haze and thin white head. Aroma was sweet malt, fruit and caramel. Taste was a not to malty red ale with a bitter balance and a slight fruity hop. Very good offering. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Draft at Tavern 77 The Broad River Red Ale poured a clear amber with a great head and lacing. This is a good red ale with nice hop bitterness . The ale had a light body with average carbonation. The ale stayed with a dry clean sip to the last swallow.

Poured from a 12 OZ bottle into a pint glass. Aroma- Fruit, malt and bread, nice mix. Appearance- A reddish yellow with a small white head. Taste- Malt, hops and fruit. I really like the taste! Palate- A light bodied brew with moderate carbonation. Has a great texture that matches the sweetness level of the flavor. Overall- I really enjoyed this beer. Next time I am in South Carolina I will search this beer out.

Kind of basic red. I’d like it more if I drank a larger amount. It’s good, but not exciting.

A nice malty beer. With a light hop bite. Sweet but still a bit thin on the tongue. Quick fading head. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Enjoyed this on draft in a local Columbia pub, also had sampled this previously at the River Rat brewery tap room. A drinkable amber ale as advertised, refreshing. Features a red amber appearance with good head. Sweet aroma. A relatively mild taste, mostly caramel malt with some brown sugar accents, mild hoppiness, not earthy like many other amber ales. Has a pleasant clean finish. Also, as a Columbia resident and a regular runner along the Broad river, I appreciate the local theme of this brew. Good overall, recommended.

On tap at the tap room on 5/13/14. Pours a crystal clear copper with a thin, creamy white head. Aroma is minimal: some roasted malt, no discernible hops. Taste is slightly sweet medium roasted malt, nutty, creamy left with minimal bitterness to finish. Very soft on the palate. Pretty light for the style but not bad. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
