Clear, deep crimson, large and lasting cream-toned head atop, leaving some lace.

In the nose: sweet malt, fruity hops, moderate bitterness. Fine and mellow.

In the mouth: Again, the bitterness is fairly mild, kept firmly in check by a firm malt content. Bitterness grows in time and blesses the palate with hoppitude, but never going too far. Good balance in this big-ish beer. Medium-bodied, full-flavored. Caramel malt flavor coming through and blending well with the fruit and the hops. Long-lasting hoppiness, lingering finish. Tasty one, here. I could drink this again and again. (In fact, I finished the whole growler in one sitting.)

Candy sweetness meets strong fruit and citrus hop flavor in this gorgeous ruby pint. The use of 100% Falconer's Flight 7 C's hops creates a complex bitterness. Inspired by the red cheeks of winter biking, here's to a hoppy spring.

 

L: From a growler pours brilliant chestnut under a 1” light tan foam cap that slowly recedes to a thin, lacy film.
S: Rich spicy malts, cola, a mild earthiness, dark sugars, caramel.
T: Attacks with rich malts, layered grain flavors, dark caramel and some kettle sugars. A medium high bitterness increases into the finish. Has a clean fermentation character with medium high malt and hops. An initial sweetness dries out on the finish.
F: Very creamy with a medium body and carbonation.
O: A full flavored beer with a good balance between malt and hops.
