Bottle from a grocery store in Bridgeport, California. Aroma is malt, caramel, toffee, with notes of red fruits and marmalade. Flavour is moderate sweet and light bitter. Body is medium. Not a bad Amber Lager.

Bottle from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours clear copper with a foamy beige head. Aroma of light malt and hop. Med body or so. Flavor is sharpish from the carbonation. Subsides to a rather bland caramel with enough hop to keep it from wholly tasteless. So there is a strongish flavor. Pretty much like nothing else I can remember having.

12oz bottle pours clear dark reddish copper with thin off white head. The aroma offers up red apple and other dark fruity hard candy notes. The taste is sweet with malts and lots of sweet dark skinned fruity esters and a bit of sugary malt sweetened nuttiness. This is in no way offensive and as it warms it begins to deliver thin ribbons of caramel and roasted malts.

Bottle courtesy of swalden28. I can’t believe that Indian Wells followed me out to TX, I guess they can’t sell this crap in California. Pours a brownish color with a white ring. Aroma was offensive with rotting grapes (not yet raisins), and other dark fruits that are decaying. Weird off flavor in the taste with prunes. Very watery with some fruit and not much else. Fizzy.

bottle - Pours clear red with a one finger head and some lacing. It has a light caramel malt aroma and the flavor is sweet caramel malt and not much of anything else. There’s a light to medium body. This beer is simple and smooth.

Sample at Alan’s HSC initation. Bottle from Park Lane Liquor in Lancaster, CA. This beer is a clear orange-amber color with a thin off-white head that diminishes quickly. Spotty lacing. Sweet aroma of malt and caramel. Light body with a sweet malt character and light caramel and hops flavor. The finish is sweet toasted malt with a hint of hops aftertaste. Pretty basic overall.

Bright reddish-brown. Rich caramel nose with light earthy hoppiness. Sweet, lots of earth and caramel. Well-made amber, a bit sweet but otherwise nicely done.

Thanks to Lord Gorlock for this brew!Mojave Red comes to the glass with a deep amber color and a long lasting sticky off white head. The aroma is heavy caramel with a hint of soapy sourness in the back. Malty sweet flavor with little or no hop aroma or flavor. Very unremarkable, but drinkable just the same.
