Sample at South Park Tavern in Dayton. The beer pours a clear dark amber color with a medium-thin off-white head that recedes quickly to an outer ring. Short strings of lacing. Aroma of fruit, yeast and malt. Medium body with flavors of mildly funky fruit, yeast and malt. The finish is fruity with a mild brett yeast aftertaste. Decent overall.

The aroma consists of berries, yeast and malt. Medium body with flavors of tart cranberry, earthy yeast and malt. The finish is fruity with a cranberry aftertaste. Decent overall.

Can into a pilsner. My single did not have the date sticker but this is pretty fresh A: Clear tea-red color with a quickly falling head and visible bubbles. Little lace. S: Full malty chestnut kind of smell. Different and sort of nice. Another reviewer noted Coca-Cola and I agree. T: Initial thought is watery. Some roasty notes and a little toffee sweetness. Hops are earthy and fairly well balanced. M: Very light body with clean finish. O: I compare every beer with this flavor profile with Highland Gaelic Amber Ale. None compare, this is no exception. Not worth the time.

12oz can. Murky orange-tan. Foamy, steady, fluffy, white head. Drinks sort of like an APA, with the earthy, caramel malts. Some pleasant hop depth, but the El Dorado is the only one that isn’t a snoozefest for 2016. Fresh, classic NW hop tones, with some added depth. OK.

12oaz bottle. Burgundy-red-brown body. Thin off-white head. Really bland chalky tones for a sour. The brett tones don’t really work. This is nothing like a Flemish Red, or any other pleasantly sour beer. Leathery mild brett tones, devolved half eaten malts, and an all around dinginess. Pretty weak offering.

I found a Brewbound press release stating this was released on April 28th and some will be Tequila barrel aged for GABF this year. Looks like I got to try some just a week after it entered limited release. Big big chili aroma on a cola red-brown-black body. The taste is good and delivers flavors of chocolate, cinnamon and peppers. Good and much nicer than anything else I had there squeeking just above average...

Tasting flight at the brewery. Clear brass with a white head. Pomegranite fruit and wheat aroma but mild. The taste is tart, fake sugariness wwith the saving grace of a tasty malt honeyed biscuit character.

Tasting flight at the brewery. Bright Amber red with a light aroma that is peppery and malty - it kind of reminds me of Fat Tire though not as nice. Rough earthy bitter green hops in the flavor, not digging it.
