This Red Ale carefully balances a blend of craft malt with an exciting ridge of select NW hops. Enjoy notes of toasted nuts and caramel that transition into layers of pine and citrus hop flavor.

On tap at Block 15 Restaurant, pours a clear dark amber / chestnut brown with a small beige head. Aroma has plenty of toffee, some resinous hops, and a hint of toasted nuts. Flavour has bitter grapefruit rind, some resinous hops, dry toffee, and toasted nuts. Much maltier and hoppier than a standard amber, which is how I like it. Solid.

Sample at the brewpub. This brew pours a mostly clear dark amber color with a medium light beige head that dissipates steadily. Sheet of lacing on the glass. Sweet malt and hops in the nose. Medium body with a flavor that is equally hoppy and malty. The finish is malty up front with a short citrusy hops aftertaste. Above average overall.
