look: 3.5 | smell: 3.25 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5
Had on-tap at the Lockdown Brewing Co. in Folsom, CA

Appearance - A clear, deep brown with a reddish hue served with an off-white half finger head. Fair retention. Spotty lacing.

Smell - Earthy, metallic aroma.

Taste - Follows the nose. Earthy, faint cacao bitterness. Ghostly caramel. Very subtle pine hop notes. Metallic, coppery finish.

Mouthfeel - Medium body with lively carbonation. Smooth. Semi-dry finish.

Overall - One of the more earthy reds I've come across. Slight bitterness throughout the flavor profile. Good, drinkable brew, but nothing that will leave a lasting impression.

2.22/5  rDev -23.2%
look: 2.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 2 | feel: 1.5 | overall: 2
Appearance: Poured a cloudy dirty brown. Barely any head, just a thin layer on top. No visible carbonation. Kind of lifeless. Some lacing?

Smell: Smells sweet and cider-like on the first smell. Also, there is a balsam fire smell as well…like a candle. Flowery esters and herbal hops, but mild.

Taste: Not a strong taste at all, with very vague flavors. Sour earthy malts, but a little dark. Some sweetness, but not much.

Mouthfeel: Medium bodied, but no bite at all. Lifeless.

Drinkability: Not a very good beer at all, and definitely not much of a red ale/ESB. It looks and feels lifeless, with an odd smell and an indescript taste.
