As brick red as the name of the brew pub. On draft as the featured CASK ale so less carbonated and room chilled as compared to the regular Something Red. Malty almost syrupy floral nose. Very typical red ale with plenty of bready malty overtones and a lightly sweet aftertaste.

Off tap this beer was a clear garnet color with a slightly khaki-colored head. The retention was not bad and the lacing thin. The aroma was of caramel, sweet malt, some bready malt and a touch of hops. The flavors were similar, though well balanced and easy enough to drink it leaned more towards the malty spectrum. Semi-sweet, with some lightly toasted malt, a good amount of caramel malt and a clean finish. The light body and low carbonation made it very easy to drink and it would be a great session beer. $1 beers on Tuesdays? This is the way to go.

A: pours a clear copper into a nonic pint glass with a finger of large bubbles and viscous looking head that thins quickly to a thin skim.
S: there is a lot of malt in this beer, that is obvious. A ton of caramel, sweet malt, almost a butterscotch note, and a bite of darker bitter citrus.
T: a ton of sweet malt flavors meld together in the mouth and make a good sweet beer, but with little hop balance a few of these could possibly become cloying on the palate.
MF: a lighter body and a smooth effervescence (surprising considering the head retention) complement the beer well; as it saves it from being a below average beer to an ok beer.
O: with the many other beers they offer here I couldn't see my self ordering this on a regular basis, but there are a couple of people I would love to recommend this brew to, and would love it.

Another beer on draft at a local beer bar and future brew pub supposedly.
Beer is red / brown, really hazy with an almost nitro looking head of small bubbles, lots of lacing, moderate carbonation.
Aroma is sweet with some breadiness, mild bitterness perhaps.
Tastes like butter, not in a good way, the beer is medium in body and really creamy with a diacetyl taste to the whole thing. It is moderately hopped, some bitterness on the back, if that creamy butter flavor wasn't there this would be a pretty good beer, otherwise it is a total pass.
