Starts sweet and keeps getting sweeter. Apple-like English yeast overpowers the bland malts, and the finish is virtually hop-free. Shoulda stuck with the Rocket Red.

Not my friend. Thin and metallic, with a sweet toffee middle that grows tart then dissipates into nothingness. Pass. Hard pass.

Thin but sufficiently roasty, with a light, almost seltzer-like opening before the toasty dark malts kick in. Nothing great, but might soothe a dark beer jones in a pinch.

Modest red, noticeable in its Cascade-fueled finish but otherwise a malt sweetheart. Toffee with a little apple-apricot fruitiness, slipping into a firm bitter fade. Surprisingly decent.
