Vienna and caramel malts give this mildly sweet Red Ale the flavor of a toasted biscuit, perfectly balanced out with Perle hops.
This Red will float your boat gently down the stream. A perfect complement to SPF 30 and an inner tube.

Beautiful ruby-red. Crystal malt is on point. The nose is spectacular - reminds me of wildflower honey. Taste is perfectly balanced - easy session beer, all night. Well done, Columbia.

On draft at the brewery, served in a shaker pint glass
Clear dark amber color, cream colored head. Nice toasty malt aroma and flavor, but not too sweet. Medium bodied.

A very well crafted beer with sweet taste upfront and peppery middle, medium carbonation and crisp finish

A: The beer is slightly hazy brownish amber in color. It poured with a three finger high off white head that has very good retention properties and took a long time to settle down, leaving a finger high head covering the surface along with lots of lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of herbal and mint-like hops are present in the nose.
T: The taste has flavors of floral and earthy hops along with underlying hints of caramel malts.
M: It feels just about medium-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer isn't as malty compared to others in the style and the Perle hops lend interesting aromas and flavors of mints and herbs.
Serving type: can

Pours a medium reddish amber with good head and moderate persistent lacing.
Smell is malt with a bit of fruit.
Taste is a fairly complex mix of fruit and citrus.
