Can. Rich copper-amber pour with a big sudsy off white head that has fair retention and fades slowly. The aroma is malts, earth, hay and some butter. The taste is malts forward with earth, butterscotch, grains, nuts and a touch of something metallic. The palate is thin and crisp. Finishes short with bitter walnuts. Overall: Ok brew

This brew is a clear brownish-mahogany color with a medium light beige head that dissipates steadily. Aroma of malt, hops and caramel. Medium body with flavors of roasted malt, earthy hops and caramel. The finish is sweet with a roast malt aftertaste. Decent overall.

Deep copper with amber highlights. Malty, light spice, caramel, biscuit dough. Medium bodied. Nothing special just a nice alt.

Sample at the Estes Park Winter Festival. Bronze color, with a big, foamy, tan head. Butterscotch and toffee up front, with some resinous hops and bread dough in the finish. Sweet, with an underlying bitterness. Medium body, chalky, and smooth. This is a pretty good example. Good maltiness, but a little overhopped.

Sampled at the brewery, 11/24/15. Amber-orange pour. Streaky lacing. Citrus hop, some bready and caramel flavors. Spice comes through as well. Average to lively carbonation.

2 ounce can.
Pours a clear copper colour with a small head of foam that shrinks quickly but not entirely. Lacing is pretty good.
It smells pretty hoppy but underneath, I get a notable aroma of caramel malt.
Taste wise, it’s pretty much 50-50 with the sweet vs the bitter. Except in the finish where it is decidedly bitter. The sweet isn’t all that sweet either. More of a semi sweet flavour that I would usually associate with something like molasses. There’s also a hint or 2 of onion or something vegetal, like what you get in some of the IPAs. A bit distracting that is.
Good mouthfeel.
Interesting brew. --- Beer merged from original tick of Little Red Cap on 01 Oct 2015 at 17:40 - Score: 8. Original review text: Has a roasty hoppy kind of dankness going on. I favour it.That blows it for it being my NBS entry.

P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, O- Quite malty and lots of spice. I was expecting some nuttiness to it but not was present and instead there was a hint of banana. Middle of the road beer. Looks like sewage water too.
