On tap at Bruery Provisions shop. In a 4th of July flight. About a 3-4 oz pour. Pours a nice amber/red/orange color. Film for a head with a bubbly ring. Nice lacing.
Aroma is amber-ey. Needs some hop aroma. I like hoppy ambers. Not much to say about the aroma.
Taste is good. Nice maltiness at first then a nice hop bit with a bit of flavor. Pretty tasty. Not super flavorful though.
Mouthfeel is nice and dry with a good carb.
Overall a refreshing summer amber. Good but not amazing. Try it if you see it.

On-tap at Provisions
A: The pour on this a cloudy amber color with a big white head.
S: Lots of hops on the nose, which is quite nice. Big citrus and floral notes with a bit of grass. There is some candy-like sweetness and a bit of toast and toffee maltiness.
T: There is sort of a tea-like flavor with a moderate bitterness. Some grassy hops and light floral notes are pretty much the bulk of the hop flavor. Some bready malts and a bit of toffee sweetness.
M: The body is medium and the carbonation is also medium.
O: The nose was pretty nice, but the flavor was not quite as good or enjoyable.

On-tap at Beachwood BBQ,
A: Pours a light to medium amber with a somewhat fizzy off-white head, solid lace and retention.
S: Noticable pine, American hop aroma.
T: Some good crystal malt flavour. Pine needles, grapefruit and some melon rind form the hop characteristics. Pretty standard red ale flavour.
M: Medium-bodied, smooth, easy going on the palate.
O: A nice American red ale, there's nothing to blow you away here, but nothing bad either.
