This beer was originally brewed for the world famous Reggae on the River festival that happens every year here in Humboldt County. A malty American Amber style ale, this mahogany hued ale brings an intense spectrum of hop flavors from the spicy aromatic to lingering bitter, all underscored by a full- bodied caramel richness. Try this brew with a little Jamaican Jerked Chicken.

pours a rich red with a small white head that fizzles out after about a minute. The aroma is of malts, pine trees, citrus, hops and a hint of corn. The taste is very well balanced with bigger malt character than other reds with medium hops. The mouthfeel retains a surprising amount of carbonation. Manages to be fizzy with a medium body.

A servicable nicely bodied dark amber ale, nice amounts of hops and malts that is great offering from the Beer of the monthe club form December 2011...

A deep amber colored beer with a healthy, frothy textured, white head rising above. There's some hang time. It has some hangtime. Settles into a thin ringlet. The profile is malt, and grassy, lighter pine hops. A nice, well carbonated, moderate bodied drink.

Reminded me of a redish pale ale. Murky amber appearance. Not quite a "red" ale in both appearance and flavor. Decent malt tastes. Was waiting for the hops to bite a bit, but just mildly kicks in at the end. On the sweeter side for this style. A better than average beer...not a Mad River I'll be rushing to get again though.

Buddy you were right about that. Just came back from the Fruit Bats and this is what i found. A clear amber, stickin itto the man. Malty but respectable. Wish they wouldhave had some beers.Now shes got the hiccups. Cinnamon, apple and caramel finishing it up. Thanks but no thanks! Wait till i tell my buddy.... ;)

a nice clean amber. nothing that will blow you away, but pleasant enough for a try, especially in the summer. a little on the malty side going in, with a ever so slightly hoppier finish. tends to be maltier...

Nice ruby brown color with nice thick white head. Floral hoppy aroma with some caramelmalt and citrus. Hoppy flavour with citrus notes and malt sweetness. Not very complex but very tasty and drinkable

Way overpriced, nothing special at all. Rich and malty with some hops in there after a deep copper color with a decent initial head and ok lacing. Lots of brown sugar in the flavor, some citric sourness, and a touch of hops. Not nearly as balanced as I was expecting, could have used some more bitter notes to balance out the relatively sweet caramel malt base. Mouthfeel was somewhat acidic feeling.

Sweet nose with some spicy(nutmeg?)notes.Murky brown pour with a thin tan head.Big malt flavor undercut nicely by the hop toward the end. Very smooth but has a sweetness to it that I find distracting.
