Appearance – The full, cascading head impressed the heck out of me. It was firm and absolutely would not go away. I dove through to get to the juicy, dark, brownish-orange nectar.

Smell – The sweet vanilla and woody cask notes were pleasant enough, and the hoppy red citrus aroma was just right.

Taste – The cask flavors were strong here, soaking the citrusy hops right up. The sharp piney resin was here as well. I thought the flavors were a little too competitive, though, and would have liked to have seen them work together with a little more harmony.

Mouthfeel – This was a very mellow, almost light-bodied Red Ale that could use a little cellaring.

Drinkability – This unique Bear Creek offering was a treat to sample. I hope they bottle it someday so I can test my “cellaring” theory.
