Wholly organic amber-styled ale guided by musty mildewed malts, mineral grains, and bitter hops. Clustered berry-nut tones underpin subtlest nectar sweetness. At fruity finish, resounding orange peel bittering gathers mossy intrigue.

Pour slowly highly hopped hemp-aided red ale. Sweet grained outline cannot fortify drifting undefined spicing, tea-like nuance, and lost nuttiness, finishing in chemically medicinal doldrums.

Nearly everything you'd ever want in a red ale. Sinewy yeast sediment embellishes mild hop-fizzed fruitiness and sweet mocha malts for mellow flow. Savory pale-fruited finish lingers on the tongue as hints of nectar and pear brighten the corners. Brewery defunct: 2001.

Soured orange-apricot tartness given thin dry-hopped oak-soaked cherry mustiness before grassy-to-toasted barley finish recedes rapidly. Residual pine needle, floral and earthen tones underscore barrenly spiced berry-apple-pear remnant as harsh oxidation invades hazy copper amber medium body.

Strong Lucifer-endorsed amber-clouded pale ale with lacey flesh-toned remnant and teensy yeast particles. Capacious citric-soured entry enjoins herbaceous medicinal spell, but phenol acidity and weak barley-hopped spine drag it down. Putrid orange, dry grapefruit, tart lemon, muted cherry, and ester-y grape engage latent cinnamon-clove spicing, giving way to barren fig souring.

Refreshingly fruited Irish Red Ale forms roasted barley easement through effervescent apple-peach-grapefruit tang and ripe pumpkin sass. Spruce-hopped malted rye sweetness grows tangentially. Meager dark spicing picks up agave hint. Crafted by nearby Goose Island Brewery for Trader Joe's shopping chain. Brewery defunct: 2003.

Eye-squinting oaken cherry tartness and tangy orange pith souring give ultra-dry copper-hazed Flemish-like red ale blunt acidity beleaguering ester-y white grape parch, green apple acridity, and dehydrated fig recess. Funky earthen grains secure soft-tongued grassy-hopped citron prickle.

Buttery auburn-hued Celtic brew could be mistaken as medium-bodied copper ale, gaining off-dry earthiness, sweet prune variance, mild tobacco-peat merger, and ashy chocolate roast to moderate caramel finish.

Bright auburn complexion and buttery caramel aroma introduce soft-textured, deep-grained, peat-malted complacency. Illusions of walnut and tobacco come and go 'til fruited hop finish. Goes down easy, leaving infrequent dry sherry and bittersweet peach vibrancy. But it's not as distinct as finer available red ales.

"A deep-toned full bodied Irish style red ale," indicates the label. Roasted grains addle rustic hop density and smoky mocha haze, putting this closer to lightweight stout than mid-level red ale. But barley-wheat finish needs better distinction and fuller development. Brewery defunct: 2006.

Rust-orange-hued red ale brings green apple nose and lemon-limed apricot-peach souring to fragile wheat bottom. Spicy yeast exertion abets narrow clove-mint nuance.

Toasted wheat and 'windmilled grains' smoothen cherry ripeness, cane sugar sweetening, and caramel-mocha malt wisp of coppery ruby hazed ale. Cola nut, cocoa, and purple grape illusions fall off as mild alcohol astringency and floral barleywine finish expand.
