We brew Deciduous to welcome the return of Autumn and celebrate New England's changing foliage. This imperial red ale is russet-amber and fills the nose with pleasant aromas of fresh baked bread, pine sap, and floral citrus. Deciduous embodies the seasonal transition from summer to winter with an earth, lemon and spicy pine aroma balanced on the palate with a hearty malt character and clean, refreshing bitterness. Deciduous is medium in body and dry on the finish.

16oz can poured into a snifter
Pours a murky amber-brown color with a small foamy white head. Smells of citrus and piney hops, caramel malt & toasted bread. Taste pretty much follows the nose. Medium body and carbonation, foamy finish. This one seems to be an internal struggle of deciding if it wants to be an amber or a brown, seemed a bit overhauled for the style

This thing looks like pulpy apple cider, smells malty with plenty of dankness, tastes follows with the smell and is one of the better imperial hoppy browns.

Looks like beef broth. Nice herbal scent. Has a touch of citrus, Lemon. Spicy and a dry finish. An interesting take on a brown ale. Really enjoyed this.
