Clear orange-red color, effervescent, with a finger of creamy light tan head. Light aroma of sweet malts. The taste follows: sweet caramel malts, a touch of apple, some white bread and a semi-dry finish courtesy of the strong carbonation. Medium bodied with heavy carbonation in the feel. Perfectly quaffable.

Reddish brown and crystal clear. Light tan head leaves only a few specks of lacing. Smells like caramel, a bit floral and sweet. Tastes sweet and caramel with a nice sweet finish with some tanginess in the finish. Really decent beer.

Pours a medium copper color with a half inch well retained white head that left moderate lacing. Smells of caramel, lightly roasted malts and an earthly quality. Tastes of caramel, sweet malts, a light orange flavor in the background, light hop presence and a grassy quality. Light bodied and carbonation, slightly dry mouth feel.

Appearance - poured for a 12 oz bottle into a 16 oz bar glass, 2 and a half fingers of foamy offwhite head sprung up immediatly and lasted a good few minuites before leaving a thick film behind. The beer itself pours a clear brownish amber. It looks like a half decent red ale nothing special.

Aroma - Caramel malts and wheat seem to stand out the most with some light floral hops in the background.

Taste - Immediately after tasting I get a wheaty zest and caramel followed by citrus and earthy tastes to finish it off. (orange peel and light grass). Again mediocre the way the flavors come together not bad but not great either.

Feel - This is a very light watery body with Very little carbonation feel. This is the weakest part of the beer to me.

Overall - I'm not saying this isnt a good beer its just not great. I wont buy it again but if its available I'll gladly drink it.
