On tap at sports bar in the Gaylord Texan. It’s called Franconia Big Red here, but an email to Franconia confirmed this is an alias. The beer arrives in a frosted mug with so much ice on the sides that I have to wait to find out that this beer has a nice reddish hue. I can tell right away that the head is a little undersized, but it’s ok. Aromas are sugary, nutty and slightly earthy and (oddly enough) become more pronounced as the beer warms. Flavor is nice, but it’s more like a red ale than what I would consider an amber... Still, it has a nice toffee sweetness that balances against a little hop bitterness and the earthy/nutty notes I picked up on in the nose. Decently drinkable.
