Draft pint at Original Joe's, one of their house beers, brewed for them by Big Rock.
This beer is a clear, orange brown color, with a short white head. Foam quickly fades, leaves a thin ring of lace around the glass.
It smells of some sweet grain, and floral hops.
The taste is bready, biscuit, and some mild earthy hops.
The carbonation is crisp, the body is medium, mouth feel is smooth, dry finish.
Easy to drink, but a bit plain and nondescript.
Happy hour price makes it worthwhile.

16oz glass, one of Original Joe's house offerings, brewed for them by Big Rock, with a tap handle adorned by a comely, well, redhead, of course!
This beer appears a clear, medium orange-brick amber colour, with one finger of weakly foamy, and mostly just soapy off-white head, which leaves a thin ring of bleeding paint job lace around the glass as it quickly falls away.
It smells of mildly sweet, grainy caramel malt, some gentle earthy nuttiness, and plain leafy, weedy, and floral noble hops. The taste is bready and doughy caramel malt, a further bit of breakfast biscuit sweetness, some mild generic bruised apple and pear fruitiness, and a soft earthy and floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is on the low side of average, what with its ephemeral frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and adequately smooth, with a wee airy creaminess. It finishes well off-dry, but with a somewhat zippy crispness welling up from somewhere heretofore unseen.
In the end, the Red is easy enough to drink, but this particular beer eventually evokes a lot of that plainness in Big Rock beers so evident for a while now. However, 3 dollar shakers during happy hour make it go down that much easier, I gotta say!
