16oz glass at Eichhardts in downtown Sandpoint.
This beer appears a clear, dark bronzed amber hue, with a thin cap of wispy and yet still bubbly ecru head, which leaves a bit of low-lying berm lace around the glass as things slowly bleed away.
It smells of crackery caramel malt, an oily bar-top nuttiness (which isn't actually coming from this withered barfly support mechanism), muddled black orchard fruit, faint wet ashes, and mild leafy and herbal hops. The taste is semi-sweet, grainy caramel malt, still mixed and matched dark fruit, a fading stale nut character, and plain weedy, leafy hop bitters.
The bubbles are damned near non-existent, barely a frothy tickle to be had, the body a sturdy middleweight, and mostly smooth, nothing interfering, but nothing really aiding either. It finishes still on the sweet side, as it becomes rather certain that the malt runs this little show.
A fairly straightforward rendition of a venerable North American style, one unencumbered by the later day trend of hopping the hell out of it, in the purported (and generally validated, IMHO) aim of making it more attractive. Here, then we have a simple, and well-made red ale that does nothing to convince me to call for another.
