We brew Deciduous to welcome the return of Autumn and celebrate New England's changing foliage. This imperial red ale is russet-amber and fills the nose with pleasant aromas of fresh baked bread, pine sap, and floral citrus. Deciduous embodies the seasonal transition from summer to winter with an earth, lemon and spicy pine aroma balanced on the palate with a hearty malt character and clean, refreshing bitterness. Deciduous is medium in body and dry on the finish.

MALT: American 2-row Barley, White Wheat, Dextrine, Carared, Carafa

A- three fingers of fluffy white head which reduces to about one finger of a rolling cap. Excellent lacing. Hazy amber body witha ton of visible carbonation.

S- soft and well balanced. Some pine, ripe orange flesh, orange zest, caramel.

T- Follows the nose. Sweet orange and pine sap. Shifts to caramel and lemon flesh with some uderlying floral notes which carry through the finish. Finish is piney, spicy, and bitter.

M- medium bodu and carb. Sticky finish.

16oz can poured into a snifter

Pours a murky amber-brown color with a small foamy white head. Smells of citrus and piney hops, caramel malt & toasted bread. Taste pretty much follows the nose. Medium body and carbonation, foamy finish. This one seems to be an internal struggle of deciding if it wants to be an amber or a brown, seemed a bit overhauled for the style

This thing looks like pulpy apple cider, smells malty with plenty of dankness, tastes follows with the smell and is one of the better imperial hoppy browns.

Looks like beef broth. Nice herbal scent. Has a touch of citrus, Lemon. Spicy and a dry finish. An interesting take on a brown ale. Really enjoyed this.
