Round Barn Red
Kingdom Brewing

On tap at The Reservoir in Waterbury, VT.

This one pours a light reddish color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.

This smells like citrus, tea, grassy hops, and sweet maltiness.

This smells a bit better than it tastes, as it feels slightly watery, and less richly malty than I'd want. There's a bit of a fruity taste, and an almost tea-like taste, with some fresh cut grass on the back end.

This is light bodied, a bit watery, but pretty drinkable.

This went down very easily, but it's going to be a little forgettable in the end.

Deep red brown color with a tan head that slowly dissipates. Rich caramel toffee and a hint of chocolate with a touch of earthy hops to counter. Pretty good for a red ale.

On tap at the Reservoir VT

On tap at The Reservoir, Waterbury, VT. The appearance was a moderately dark red color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within about a minute leaving some light lacing sliding into the beer. The smell had some roasted nuts along with some caramel malts and then a light piney hoppiness running into some light toast. The taste was a nice combination of bitter pine hops sliding into the toast and caramel malts. There’s a nice semi-sweet to bitter piney to caramel aftertaste leading on into the finish. On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. Carbonation runs fairly smooth allowing the bitterness to make it nice. Overall, this was a really nice Amber ale that I would have again.

 

 

 

 

 

Hoppy, but the profile is sort of dry and... grassy? A bit rustic. Normally I'd use rustic in a good way, but this is just so-so. Had high hopes.
