Okay brown body and little head, soft caramel brown sugar aroma like all their other beers. Flavour, if you can call it that, is more brown sugar. Mouthfeel is tepid. A red ale in name only, this is lacking in every category.

On tap at Longwood Brewpub, pours a clear dull reddish amber with a small beige head. Aroma is fairly on point, with oxidized bready malt and a touch of sourness. Flavour is likewise very dull, with oxidized bready malt, not much else. Tired, old beer. Weak stuff.

Draft - Buttery toast and some caramel.. Clear copper with a decent white head. Light sweetness, toffee and a touch of spice.

Handpump at the brewpub
Dark amber color, small head. Mild caramel aroma with a touch of vegetables and butter. Smooth mouthfeel, but also quite weak, with ordinary caramel flavor, light malt, and a sourish hint that suggests this beer is not very fresh or it has a minor fermentation problem; correct bitterness. Easy.

Tap@Longwood. No nose. Red golden tanned cream. Light body (but chewy like the rest), dry light grassy notes, a hint fruit, not much else. Dusty aftertaste

Deep, bright reddish-amber colour with a loose head. Rich caramel malt nose. Soft, very caramelly palate, smooth and sweet. A bit hard to describe despite its simple concept but they did it well.
