Bright copper. Nice head. Fruity, malty, and vegetal aromas. Surprisingly "medium" body. Very fruity, like pineapple. Very malty. Very alcoholic in the finish. I'd like to taste this in a couple of years.

Almost-black red, big brown head. Roasted barley aroma. Big roasty flavor. Reminds me a lot of the old Devil Mountain Devil's Brew!

Very red. Great head, good carbonation. Smells red! Not brown...red. Maple flavor? Good body. Smooth. Sweet.
