Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a hazy burnt red to orange color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within about a minute leaving some light lacing sticking and then sliding into the beer.
The smell had a nice roasty to burnt semi - sweet caramel dirty earthiness to it.
The taste pretty much did the same thing leaving a rolling burnt shredded caramel malt - leaves that toasty effect in the aftertaste to impart on the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly okay sessionability about it. The carbonation was somewhat subdued to allow a rolling subtle smoothness to it.
Overall, this one was an okay red ale. It’s not necessarily one that I would seek again.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of malt, citrusy hops, and straw. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, straw, and a bit of hops, leading to a bitter finish. The body is light.

The airport: Pours a reddish color with a white head. Aroma is just a bunch of malt without any complexity. Taste is much the same. Barely any hops are to be had in this beer. A little bit sweet. Just generally generic methinks.
