A malt forward red ale, this beer has a lovely balancing act taking place subtly. Malt forward, hops try to peak through the caramel notes. Specialty malts Melanoiden, Red-X, and caramel malts take the lead, but East Kent Golding, Cascade, and El Dorado hops still make their presence known as they creep on to the palate with a lasting finish. Like vines on a Southern home, this beer’s complexity will creep on to your palate.

On tap at brewery:
Pours a darker side of amber with a slight red lean. The body is clear, and the head stays foamy on the etched glass. Spots of lacing are like suspended raindrops.
Nose is a lightly toasted grain with a little bit of sweetness and hops, pretty straightforward and on point.
Taste leans a little grain heavy, a little more than I recall from my first try. The hops have a citrusy note to them in the end, with a little cherry wood tang coming off the toasted grain.
On my first attempt, the hop bitterness popped a little more, but didn’t jump the wall to IPA. This tasting fits more into the style with balance, toeing the line between amber and pale ale.
