Mixed pack bought in Vermont. Pours a clean amber colour with a fizzy head that does not stay long. A small ring is left because of the heavy carbonation. Aroma of caramel malts with decent hops. Hints of nuts. A lot of the same for the taste, but watered down. Hoppy finish with mild bitterness. An average red ale. Sandlike residue at the bottom. Not sure if normal.

This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a soft hazy burnt amber color with a slight transparency about it. Soft carbonation rises at a moderate pace. There’s no head nor lacing.
The smell had a strong nutty to caramel maltiness overlaying a rich toffee blend. Light cocoa backs it up decently.
The flavor is basically the same with a lingering sweet nutty aftertaste leading to a dry nutty finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it.
Carbonation runs fairly smooth. A nice rolling nuttiness scampers over my tongue in a dry fashion.
Overall, it’s a decent American Red ale. Everything fits for the style, it’s just nothing over the top.

Pours a slightly hazy dark copper color with a smallish off white head that doesn’t stick around very long. The aroma is quite malty with lots of caramel and toffee with hints of chocolate and a faint earthy hop deep underneath. The flavor follows the aroma quite well with toffee and caramel in the foreground and hints of chocolate and earthy hop bringing up the rear. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a sweet light syrupy mouthfeel. Decent beer, feels like a brown ale at times, but it’s a nice gateway style beer.

Amber to hold appearance. 2 finger head that doesn't stick around. Nice clarity. Smells like honey and apricot. Starts with a honey taste. Sort of an earthy potatoes and rice taste. Some floral characters dry finish

Location: 12 oz bottle from Buy Rite, 9/2/12

Aroma: The nose is sweet malts, caramel, roasted malts, bread, and light fruity notes
Appearance: This beer pours a clear caramel-orange color with a small white head and no lace
Flavor: The taste is light-medium sweet, with most;y caramel and bread notes, and lightly bitter finish
Palate: The body is light and feels fairly watery, with a dull, tingly mouthfeel, and a dry, metallic finish
Overall Impression: I wasn't at all impressed by this one. Though the beer as a whole wasn't exciting, I found the mouthfeel to be the weakest part.

12 oz bottle purchased @Tully’s Beer and Wine. Wells, ME. Nice presentation in the English Pint. Thin off white head. No lace. Nose is malt and toffee. Taste is roasted aroma, rye bread. A strange hop taste lingers in the finish, I had this bottle awhile. It was a bottle that got pushed around in my fridge, so it’s not real fresh. That being said, still ok.
