A great everyday beer that’s smooth and not too hoppy or bitter. Easy drinking and fresh tasting, fairly low in alcohol but full of delicious malty flavor.

This is a great Red/Amber Ale low in IBUs and a great caramel & malt taste which makes it very crushable. It's been a few years since I have had this beer because they closed down the one near us.

16 ounce draft pour.
Nice malt forward traditional style Amber.
Pouring clear and copper with a thin white head. Nose is a bit weak, caramel malt, with earthy notes. Flavor is malt forward and medium sweet, caramel and toasted malt with mildly bitter woody and earthy hops. Finish is still malty but more dry. Medium-weight body is smooth and frothy with a short crisp finish. Easy drinking.

Served on tap in a pint glass
Appearance – The beer is served a deep amber color with tiny head of tan colored foam. The head fades rather fast leaving a little bit of foamy lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma of the brew is very strong of a slightly toasty and roasty with some notes of caramel and molasses as well as some smells of a nuttiness.
Taste – The tastes begins with a nice light malty roasty and bready taste mixed with a bit of a caramel flavor. As the taste advances the roastiness gets a bit lighter while the caramel gets stronger and is joined by a touch of harvest fruit of apple and pear. At the end there is a bit of a nuttiness that joins the flavor profile and with a bit of an herbal taste, one is left with a nice clean and crisp amber taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the brew is light with a carbonation level that is moderate. For the crisp taste and easy drinking nature of the brew the feel is great and makes this an easy and flavorful sipper
Overall – A rather crisp and tasty amber with a super easy drinking feel. Not over the top in sweetness. Very well done.
