3.24/5  rDev -4.1%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3.25 | taste: 3.25 | feel: 3 | overall: 3.25
Appearance: deep reddish orange color. almost opaque but lets light through. a finger or just more of an off white head that leaves behind a sticky lacing

Smell: strong bready malts, a mix of hops from citrus to herbal and spicy.

Taste: opens with some lighter crystal malts. lots of breadiness and a little toastiness. light amount of hops. some citrus, herbal and a light spiciness.

Mouthfeel: very light and not very bitter.

Overall: I'd label this beer more as a red than an india red. lacks hoppiness and is a little light and clean on the feel.

From the 12 oz can in a snifter. This nice little red ale pours a lightly cloudy reddish amber with a moderate head of white foam that settles to a thick ring, thin pool, and very nice lacing. Nose of toasted malts and a mix of citrus and piney hops. Flavors follow the nose with caramel and roasted malts beaten into submission by citrus and pine touched hops on all sides with a bitter finish with a touch of metal from I would suggest the tanks from which it is brewed since it seems to be a common thread. Decent mouth feel, medium carbonation, and a bitter aftertaste.
Overall nice minus the metallic aftertaste.

Cheers

Poured out a clear, ruby color with a small, off-white head. Aroma is fruity and malty with a dose of caramel sweetness. Mild floral notes. Fruity and malty with caramel, toffee and bread crust. Bitterness is mild with a grassy bite. It was crisp and sharp. A medium bodied.

A thanks to the founding father of the canquest, woodychandler, for this beer. Poured from a 12 oz. can. Has a cloudy amber color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is of caramel malts, some hops. Taste is hops, malts, well balanced, mild bitterness. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall is a solid beer.

Poured from a 12oz.can into a standard pint glass.
Deep amber in color, with a rather short cap of foam.
Aroma-Toasted malt, faint hop note
Taste-Caramel, toasted malt, muddled hops, and a rather unwelcome metallic undertone that definitely lowered the score here.

On tap with nitro. Not really a fan of nitro, but I was curious to try this one. Nothing memorable in my opinion. It wasn't bad, just not great. Probably would not try again
