L: Light Amber red copper color with a small white head and lots fingers of lacing.
A: Some citrus with Piney and grassy hops. A nutty caramel malt underneath.
T: Lots of pine and grassy hops, with hints of citrus. Balanced out by sweet caramel and some earthy nuttiness. A mild to medium bitterness. Rather hoppy for a red ale.
F: Creamy smooth and very easy drinking.
O: A hoppy red beer that is balanced out nicely by the malt. This is a nice red ale.

appearance - light amber, medium head off tap pour.
smell - grass, hops, malts, nothing special
taste - oats, and lovely malts, simple, but well mixed. minor bitter end, not as much hops as from smell
mouthfeel - very smooth, drinkable like crazy, i was pretty thirsty and downed my half pint in about 20 seconds. medium body. the alcohol wasnt feeling like 7 percent which is sort of nice.

A: Slightly hazt red/amber color. Poured a one finger off-white head that dissipated quickly. Broken lacing.
S: Wet, earthy grains. Big bitter hop sting (Kent Golding hops).
T: Hearty malts, wet grains. Lingering bitter finish. I guessing the name comes from Amber Ale meets ESB...a delighfully pleasant blend if you ask me.
M: Medium Light body; a little thin for something with the hearty malt aromas. Carbonation is in good balance to clean up the lingering bitter.
D: Smooth and delightful. Just thinking the 7.0 abv may wear me down a bit.
