Reddish pour from stags head. Medium head. Strikes the red ale middle ground and does it well.

Bottle. Deep amber in color with a large off white head. Love the floral aroma and the taste is well balanced with a floral taste. This was pretty good.

Dark ruby pour, small off white head. Very earthy hop aroma, light pine, and some grassy. Solid malts, cereals, and grains. Some herbalness comes through, soft carb, medium mouthfeel.Medium bitterness, solid bready finish with a piney hop aftertaste. Solid session, could drink it all night.

From old tasting notes. Hazy, amber orange color. Huge thick whipped cream beige head. Fruity malt nose. Crisp fruity malt flavor upfront. Big bitter hop finish. Very tasty.

Some rust and a little citrus. Decent malt backbone. Decent for style like a Canadian tuxedo. Amber pour with decent head. Tap somewhere - old rating.

Pours hazy copper color with off white head. Aromas of toasted malt and pine. Similar flavors. Medium body with average carbonation.
