A malty delight. Nice dark amber. More toward orange really. An easy drinking but full, heavy beer. Very smooth. Nutty, buttery, roasted and earthy taste. I’d like more.

Had this on 2021-12-15 near Pittsburgh, PA from a fresh 16oz can obtained at the brewery

A - Fairly clear ruby-brown with a 1-finger head that drops quickly leaving light lace

S - Toasted brown bread, caramel, light citrus. Mild though.

T - Echoes the aroma with the addition of brown sugar and mild milk chocolate. Earthy spice. It's a nice balance of flavors. Easy to drink and with enough mild-moderate roasted bitterness in the drying finish to bring you back for more.

M - Medium body and carbonation. Creamy then dryer.

O - It's a flavorful, quaffable American Red Ale. What's not to like? I'll definitely have it again.

I tried this at the brewery. It poured a clear amber with thin white head that has left a spotty lace. The scent had caramel malt presence. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with malty base. The mouthfeel is lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall this is a solid amber and definitely worth a try.

Enjoyed from the growler via the brewery in a snifter glass. This fine red pours
a lightly murky reddish brown with a modest head of white foam that subsides to
a thin ring and light lacing. Nose of rich toasted nutty malts, zesty citrus laden hops,
and brown sugars. Flavors follow but exceed by profile with light grapefruit and orange zest
tinged hops awash is brown sugars and and light earthy tones. Nice mouth feel, smooth,
lightly syrupy, medium feel, and lightly coating and slick. Overall very nice.

A nice color for a red keeping with style, with a fluffy white head.

A robust complex mix of malt, hop, and other aspects brought to my mind caramel and nuts.

A bit more robust for a red than I'm used to, nice.
