This simple red ale was brewed in memory of Tasha, the faithful German Shepherd. It's a supremely drinkable beer that is sure to be your go-to choice, and will always be there for you just like Tasha was. Expect a rich caramel malt character, balanced by a bit of bitterness and a great finish.

Can from Bert’s Brilliantly clear tawny brown with a decent sized long lasting beige head. Caramel and earth dominate the nose with a light toffee rounding it out. Light fruity flavor with bit toffee caramel and earthy flavor. Sweet almost syrupy mouthfeel moderate carbonation. Not a bad beer, but certainly reminds me of what everyone sold in the mid 90’s.

Bottling date of 09/05/15.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a nice looking hazy dark amber color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within about a light minute. Semi-formal lacing represents around the glass.
The smell starts off with a rich roasty nutty to caramel to toffee character with subtle sticky pomme-like fruity notes. Light toast as well shows a light balance.
The taste was mainly malty sweet with the rich toasty effects running over the caramel, nuts, toffee and light fruits. A nice light sweet sticky caramel aftertaste runs into a wet sticky finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. Carbonation runs fairly light allowing the caramel and toast to really pull the stickiness along my tongue.
Overall, I say this was a pretty good Amber ale that I would have again.

On tap at Milly’s Tavern. Amber color with small white head. Little to no lacing. Aroma is of malt with a hint of citrus. Tastes moderately sweet and bitter. I get sweet malt and bread. A good amber ale.
