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.

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.
