Roman Red is a beautifully balanced, medium bodied amber ale. It pours a clear African Sunset red with a dense off white head. The citrus and pine resin hop aroma typically associated with Pacific North Western hop varieties strikes a balance with caramel, raisins, and a hint of smokiness from the darker crystal malts.
Residual sweetness from the malt counters the hop bitterness. The beer finishes in a lingering mix of caramel and bitterness.
Malts: Pale, Crystal, Black
Hops: Galena, Cascade, Amarillo

Hazy brownish-amber. The aroma is quite phenolic and little else. The taste is slightly sour and phenolic. Too many problems, though hopefully on a re-rate I won’t find them.

Bottled@omhper tasting. Amber colour, small head. Aroma is caramel, some mild sulphur, earth and mild spruce and floral hoppyness. Flavour is fruits, wood, some slight nectary notes as well. Pleasant flavour, but the aroma feels like it could be worked on a bit.
