Carmel and Munich malts give our flavored red ale a rich toffee and roasted nut character. We top off his beer with a healthy addition of American hops for a perfect balance.

(On tap) Pronounced darkish brown colour, nice slightly burned malt character and a good hoppiness (which turns out to be a house characteristica). Very typical fruity/flowery notes. More akin to a Brown Ale I’d say. 5,5% ABV

Dark cherry cola appearance, little to no head. Smells of red fruits, raspberry jam meets crystal malt, though quite drier than that sounds. Opens up with a spritzy/fruity sweetness. typical crystal malt papery/dry finish, with some almost metallic tones. Still, the hops are there and the malt tastes quite good for most of the beer. Body stands up and is medium. As it warms and breathes texture becomes creamy. Theres something good about this beer that dosent translate well to ratings.

Caramel and toffee? I don't think so. It was pretty thin bodied, and sort of tasted like I was drinking cola without the sugar added. A slight hop bitterness in the finish reminded me that it was beer. Not terrible, but still somewhat bland.
