[1] Review by Sigmund from Hafrsfjord, Norway who has tried this beer once. (9/14/2007 11:11:20 AM)
"Cask conditioned at The Three Judges, Glasgow, as "Sarah Hughes Ruby Ale" - I presume this is the same beer? Very dark ruby colour, creamy head. Moderate malty aroma with caramel. The flavour is very malty and sweet with loads of caramel, slightly roasty. Decent hops in the finish. Not easy drinking, but nice. "

[4] Review by Stoutlover72 from Northern, California, USA who has tried this beer once. (2/8/2006 8:01:58 PM)
"Not sure exactly what this was trying to be. A geueze? A wine? An ale? It didn't really succed in any of those as everything was fairly toned down. The aroma was fairly sour, flavor was very winey with a sourness at the end. Not really all that pleasing."

[5] Review by aracauna from Adairsville, GA, USA who has tried this beer (1/15/2006 10:22:14 AM)
"Not really dark ruby. Looks more black but really dark brown. Good aroma, ginger, some coffee, raisin, a little caramel. Taste is odd. It's sour. It didn't smell like it had gone bad, and it almost tasted like it was supposed to be that way. I actually checked the other ratings to make sure my experience fit before rating to make sure I didn't just get a bad bottle. Odd."
