COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
An incredibly smooth red ale with moderate bitterness up front, which gives way to a delightful malty finish. Brewed using five European malts and three varieties of domestic Northwest hops. (Six packs available in stores October to April).

Reviewed from notes. This was poured into a pint glass. The appearance was a nice looking red/amber color with a decent one finger white foamy head that had a decent dissipating lacing around the glass. The smell had a lot of roasted caramel maltiness running about a fairly decent nuttiness in and out of the aroma. The taste took those flavors and let it be mainly sweet and allowing it to have somewhat of a watery finish. On the palate, this one sat fairly light and had a pretty good sessionability about it. Overall, in my opinion, this wasn’t a bad red ale, its just not a stellar one. It was nice to try but nothing to miss once I moved away from New England.

A very tasty and drinkable medium cloudy amber brew. Good carbonation. Light sweet roasty aromas and rich flavors. Well balanced - not overly sweet. Roasty sweet finish. A solid amber.

Solid red ale, hoppy and malty, perfect for winter, some spices detected as well. Dark red color, had on tap at Sylvan St. Grill, I was happy with it.

12oz bottle. Pours a murky red. Up front hop aroma. Nice malty taste that’s not too sweet. Not spectacular but very drinkable.

Pours a two finger cream head that fades slowly and leaves some lace. Cloudy red/amber color. Good carbonation and medium bodied. Hoppy nose. Flavor is mostly hops, malts are trying to balance. Lingering bitter finish. $1.95 for a 12oz bottle from Colonial Spirits Acton, Ma.

Draft at the American Craft Beer Fest in Boston. Poured a coppery red. Sweet malt and resiny piny flavors. Different from what I’m used to. Really enjoyed this one.

Pours deep copper into a shaker. Off-white head with medium retention recedes to skim surface. Resin aromas. Soft caramel upfront turning to a lasting mild pine and resin finish.
