Can to becher pint glass.
Appearance: amber to red color with a two finger white foamy head, dissipated to leave some messy lace
Aroma: caramel/toffee malts, subtle piney hops
Flavor: semi-sweet through the prior noted aromas; mild malty aftertaste
Texture: light to medium bodied, mostly sessionable, smooth malty finish
Overall: I'd say it works as an old school-ish red ale I'd have again.

16 oz. in a trade with johnnnniee, thanks for the chance. Deep ruby near brown color. Aroma and flavor are very old-school. Caramel, toffee and some lasting pine bitterness after the sip. Thinner body / texture. Well made but pretty boring. Too old school for my preference.

Can (9/16/20) from a trade with Johnnnniee--thanks, John! Appearance is turbid brownish-red with no sparkle, 2-finger width beige head with good retention and nice leggy lacing. Aroma is nice, sweet pine, floral over grains. Taste is strong piney hops dominant with background grain, light caramel. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with somewhat watery texture, soft carbonation and crisp, dry finish with lingering bitterness. Overall, nice to have something other than an IPA or a stout for a change but the malts were a little muted here (which is weird because it's usually the opposite). Mouthfeel a bit weak. Just OK.

Pours murky orange-tinged mahogany into a shaker. Off-white milkshake head with good retention recedes leaving spider lacing. Dark caramel aromas. Sharp and sweet with toffee and caramel upfront turning to roots and earth in the bitter lasting finish.
