Rod is a refreshing, medium bodied red ale brewed with aphrodisiac herbs for woman and men alike. Brewer Russ Beattie was working on his own version of Sex Panther, using passion flower, epimedium, damiana, and ginko to elevate the levels of spring time friskiness and brewmaster Aaron Morse decided that the best way to spread the love was via Rod.

Draught. Poured pretty dark for an amber with a creamy smallish head. Some cinammon caramel toffee notes, floral hops as well. Well played.

On tap at Christian Firtal. Hazy copper with a lasting off-white head. Malty aroma of caramel with ripe fruit and herbal-floral notes like heather. Quite sweet malty and fruity flavour.

Draft. An unclear amber beer with lazing orangey head. The aroma has notes of malt, caramel, and fruits. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, fruits, and herbs, leading to a bitter finish.

Draft. Dark amber-brown. A bitter, hoppy red ale, with a unique spiciness. I enjoyed it.

On tap @ Beer Temple. Brownish red colored. Firm, off white head, good lacing. Aroma’s: caramel, malty, red fruit, bit roast. Flavor is medium sweet, roasted, medium bitter. Body is medium. Finishes somewhat dry, roasted and quite bitter. Didn’t get much of the spices, but (or should I say: and so) I quite liked this.
