Poured from a 12 oz. bottle into an imperial pint glass. It pours a really nice red color with a small amount of head with little lacing.
It has a really nice aroma. A great mix of malt and citrus hop smells.
The taste is a little more malty, to be expected from a red ale. It finishes nicely though with a spicy citrus taste. Nice balance.
The mouthfeel is a little thin, disappears too quickly, but overall it's a pretty solid red ale and I would drink it again.

I like reds, and this one was pretty good. Haven't seen it around much any more, maybe they changed the name or stopped making it. The brewery has undertaken a complete makeover, so we'll see what comes of that.
