Tap at John Harvards - A rather nondeScript red ale... Nutty amber, caramel with a hint of toffee and coco powder. Hoppy dry finish. Meh..

Aroma of caramel, brown sugar. The appearance is red, clear, off-white head. The flavor is caramel, brown sugar. The finish is a light hoppy bittering. Medium to medium/thick in body. Decent.

On tap at the brewpub. Arrived at the table a clear red with a thin linen white ring for a head. Pleasant aroma of malt along with some caramel and nuts. The flavor is very similar with ample malt along with some caramel and nuts. Very slight bitterness at the finish. Quite smooth on the palate. Not a complicated beer, but not intended to be either. Quaffable and enjoyable!

I’ve had several different batches of this beer, and I must say that this year’s is quite nice - very full and malty for an amber, with a lot of nutty character, brown sugar, vanilla, a hint of cherry - sweet, but balanced by a slight tartness on the back end, and subdued hop bitterness - a solid session ale.

UPDATED: MAY 22, 2009 Tap. Aroma malty, tartish red fruit. Flavor has some hop bite, but mostly semi-sweet, semi-rich malt. Smooth. Solid. 7-4-7-4-13/3.5

Rerate 5/20/09 Tap at JH. Aroma of sweet, rich malt, nougat, vanilla, cherry. Flavor maintains the richness with that vanilla feel and a fairly wide array of red fruits. Little hop presence notable, but really not a problem here. Impressed me the second time around.

On tap. Pours a dark amber with a small head. Aroma of sweet malt, flowery hops. Flavor of roasted malt, also oddly enough som cheddar Goldfish crackers. An odd-flavored beer but it was pretty drinkable and refreshing.
