P- Underdog Bar and grill
A- Red in color with some hints/traces of a light amber. Quite cloudy and hazy as well. A pasty half finger head hits the top and hangs around for a bit.
s- aromas of grapefruit and floral spices hit the nose and linger around for a good while. i can also smell a hint of caramel and malt.
T- a bitter and hoppy flavor. A burnt caramel flavor also is noticeable. The grapefruit finishes it up faintly.
M- dry and weak in the mouth. A kind of tart hop mouthfeel. Light and thin.
D- It seems easy to put down but i struggled with it for a bit. A decent beer but i have had much better red ales. This is worth a try but thats about it. i wouldnt buy it.

Light amber, thin head, vanishes. Aroma was of just toasted malt.
Taste was weak, a little sweet and bitter, couldn't decide if it was a malt liquor or an amber ale. Toffee, well carbonated, almost excessively, harsh bitter aftertaste is the main mouthfeel component, and its not all that hoppy so who knows.
