Pours a brown colour with a slight red tinge. Cream head, visible bubbles but otherwise pretty decent. Bit dark, but otherwise fine.

Malty on the nose. Touch of cocoa with vanilla, caramel and sweet spice. Not a lot of hop, just fairly sweet spicy and malty. OK.

Chocolate on the palate as well. Caramel malt upfront that gets roasty and quite bitter towards the back. Touch of clove midway and some resinous hops late which make it fairly bitter. Not bad.

Body is a bit thin, doesn't quite carry the more robust flavours on the palate.

Needs more flavouring hops. Tastes a bit roasty and bitter and oddly treacly. Not just from malt but also hop oils providing a thick finish.

Tried on-tap at GABS 2014 in Melbourne.

Pours a toasty-brown colour, quite clear in the body, but not really the red colour they claim. Body is light, with a fine streaming carbonation through it. Head forms a little ring of off-white that leaves even littler rings of lace as it goes down. Looks decent enough.

Nose is toasty, with a hint of berry or other fruit sweetness. Not much else to it though and it feels a little weak overall. The aromas aren't bad, though.

Light bitterness on the front, stopped short by some toastiness that survives through the centre of the palate. It's pretty thin though, with just a woody bitterness surviving all the way to the back. Here there's something almost salty in the finish. But it's all very light: aroma, palate, mouthfeel.

It's okay overall—and far from being an actively offensive beer. But it's not a great American Red, and it's just really not that interesting overall.
