Aroma: toasted caramel malt, minerally
Appearance: deep amber beer, white head, lasts well
Flavor: candy flavors, earthy hops, slightly sweet finish
Mouthfeel: moderate carbonation, smooth, moderately attenuated
This beer is great in the taprooms but changes from bright and minerally (in a good way) to caramelly and sweet over time if buying the packaged product. If you like softer, maltier flavors let it age 3 months or so. I like mine fresh off the tap.

I bought this beer at a local grocery store in Raton, NM. This beer looked good, smelled OK but the taste was bad IMHO. Actually, to say that this beer is bad is an understatement. In general, I'm a fan of New Mexico beers but not this one. Avoid.

Aroma has hints of caramel. Copper/red color. Excellent clarity. True to the Irish Red style. Medium body and nice carbonation. Nice caramel and toast flavors. Easy drinking. New brewmaster and location have really paid off!

On tap. Reddish amber color with a one finger head that leaves lacing halfway down the glass. Aroma is dominated by malt and has a touch of caramel in it. Taste follows the aroma: strong malt body with some breadiness and a touch of caramel in the finish. Medium body with medium carbonation and no aftertaste. The finish is a touch sweet.
It's an interesting amber that could do with some more hops. The distinct malt body was a nice change of pace from the usual style.

like a more complex fat tire - that silky mouth feel of soy milk, with some maltiness to keep you interested.
