More carbonated than a red ale usually is. Dark amber in color. Smell is decent with minimal lacing. Bold flavor but overall taste is a little flat. Decent beer.

This beer pours a murky amber color. The head is minimal, off white, and not too long lasting. Some lacing on the glass.
The nose is slightly sweet. Some malt in the nose.
Taste - Somewhat bland. Some sweetness. Some malt.
Quite watery feeling.
Not much to say about this beer, to be honest. Nothing really wrong with it, but really lacking in the flavor department.

I like the name and it is a very drinkable beer for someone who is not an expert on craft beer. :-)

This beer pours a clear amber with a large head. The aroma reminds me of rough uncooked grain - like kasha - with pine and burnt plastic. The flavor leads with bittersweet malts, moderate pine, citrus, cinnamon, and black tea. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. Overall this is not undrinkable, but there are some odd flavors and unappealing qualities throughout. Shame, I wish there were more good quality reds available.

Looks like a got a can of fish milk rather than the Bill of Rights. This is brown like Lost Trout. No real head or lacing to speak of.

Brown sugary. Toffee notes, but not really in a good way. Butter and sugar.

Mouth is thin.

I'm gonna drink 'em all, but I'm not a huge fan.

This beer pours a clear dark red color. The head is a half inch in height, and sticks around awhile. The aroma is of buttered popcorn. The taste is full of diacytl too. It isn't has pronounced as it is in the aroma, but it is still the dominant flavor. The mouthfeel is light-medium bodied with a watery texture. Overall, this beer is a mess.

Nice simple red ale that has mild bitterness, clean malt flavors of caramel and toffee in a low ABV brew. Not going to knock anyone's socks off, but I enjoyed drinking this beer.

This reminds of a winter warmer, even though it is only at 5.5%. As noted on the can, there is a nutty and toasty quality with a streak of caramel. That describes it quite well. It also noted "moderate" hopping and that seems to be a bit of a stretch. The hopping is quite light with not particular bitterness noted either.
I'll call this a spring warmer (as that is when I bought it). Very nice looking with reds and browns in the amber and a lovely full tan head. Aroma is light overall and still a malt presentation with only faint hop character.
Solid, but don't expect much for hops.
