As "basic" and standard beers go this is very nice .... Pretty to look at and enjoyable to drink ... Smooth and amber ... A gift from my coworker who had visited Maryland

Semi-clear ameet appearance with a moderate off white head and good retention. Malty, caramel, biscuit notes. Moderate to full body, moderate carbonation, creamy mouthfeel. Very good for this style. Never been big on Red Ale’s but this one nailed it.

Aroma: Light toast, caramel malts, soft fruitiness.

Draught pours into tumbler pints.

Deep amber with half an inch of moderately persistent, creamy off-white foam. Nose and flavor are somewhat "English" with earthy and woody hops and less caramel sweetness than expected. Only semi-sweet with decent hop flavor, mildly bitter. Medium weight and enough carbonation for some crispness. Good enough to enjoy multiple pours.

Poured from a can into a pint glass. Pours red amber with a small off white head. Smells of darker roasted grain and slight fruitiness. Tastes of dark roasted drain, slight caramel. Beer is light bodied and easy drinking, good carbonation. Overall, an above average beer.

This beer is a sleeper!!! An excellent amber with a time of IPA. Kind of hippy but not overboard. Not overly bitter but just right. Great food beer!!!
