We know, most firefighters don’t like being labeled as heroes. But we had to do something to thank the men and women of the Cleveland fire department who have risked and given their lives for the safety of others. So we brewed Engine 20, a well-hopped pale ale with a touch of smoked malt. It’s the least we can do. So next time you see one of our humble heroes in uniform, why not give them a gesture of your gratitude? We find that a tip of the glass works well. And if they’re off duty, picking up their next pint works too.

Sampled on draft at Rivertowne this beer poured a dark caramel-orange color with a large creamy orange-tan head that lingered and left good lacing. The aroma was sweet and malty with notes of smoke and hickory. The flavor was tangy and sweet hickory, smoke, bread, malt, and had a bitterness throughout. Medium length sweet and tangy hickory finish. Medium body. Ok.

On tap at mad mex. Looks like a yuengling. Smells like clean beer. Ooooo, the taste is quite strong at first. However, never makes it over the top. For a 6%, I guess its not coming on too strong after the session gets going. Yes, ass kicken but yet remains reserved. Indeed, a unique beery flavor. Finish is a tad medicinal.

On draft at scion restaurant in dc. Pours a cloudy copper with an off white head. Subtle peach aroma. Grassy hop flavors finishing with some bitterness.

Draft. Cloudy golden yellow color, small white head, solid lacing. Aroma of smouldering fruit and bread dough. Taste is full bodied candied fruit with a burned edge. Very nice.

Draft at Sugar Maple. Orange-brown, unfiltered. Smoky, but relatively balanced. Medium bodied, well executed. Mild hop balance. The smoke shines, but it remains drinkable. Well done, true to style despite the obvious differences.

Orange with a white head. Light smoke, sweet malt, and fruity nose. Noticeable smoke in flavor but not ham like, just a solid hint. Bitter citrus hops, lightly sweet malts. Real interesting and a smoked beer I could go a few rounds with.

Cask version at Barley’s 5th Annual Mini RAF (04/28/07): This beer is a lightly hazed dark amber color with a medium off-white head that has good retention. Rings of lacing. The aroma is mostly hoppy with smokey malt undertones. Dry, medium body with both hops and smoke flavors, neither of which dominates. Light malt in the backgound as well. The finish is mildly bitter hops, with the smoked character still lurking in the background. Interesting beer, although it does not really push any boundaries.
