    Red Buck by Upper Hand

    Stamped 09/09/21
    Pours a deep amber in hue. A sandy head rises nearly 2 fingers and slowly retreats to a solid 1/2 inch of foam. Dman near solid curtain of lace clings to the glass.
    Nose is pine resin, herbal spice, and a smidge of orange zest.
    Flavor brings a little more of a smooth blend of the orange zest and pine. A mild, slightly peppery, herb nose finishes it off.
    Slightly fuller side of medium for an IPA. More like a slightly hopped up red. Light on the carbonation, a tad slick, and a drying bitterness on the end
    Overall, a pretty good beer but to me it comes off a little more like an American Red.

    Thanks Rob, I had a big smile on my face too, joining in here again! I condensed the rest of the cellar into a smaller area to make room for canned foods, and besides finding the Elaborative ONE I found three other beers I haven't tried, so looking forward to getting a chance to join in three more times. See ya then. Cheers!
