Organic beets from Pebble Brook Farm in West Brookfield, Vermont brings out the sweet hint of sugar beets. A beautiful red hue accompanies this brew that shines ruby red. A soft mouth feel allows the subtleness of the beets to come through on the front of the brew.

From my brother: pours bright red with a small white head. Aroma is earthy and dirty beets and stuff. Taste is sweet, earthy and beety. Some beety aftertaste.

16oz can ppurs a clear purple with a ring of pink head. Wow, nose has a ton of beet, roasted purple beets, borscht, maybe a little cereal. Flavor has some golden ale base, malt, cereal, a little pepper, but lots and lots of beet. Earthy finish.

Poured into a becher pint glass, the appearance was a soft transparent amber color with a thin finger’s worth of foamy head that quickly dissipates leaving a messy lace running all around the glass.
The aroma starts with a sweet soily sugar/red beet maltiness. Some light caramel malts blend in nicely.
The flavor leans to the sweet side and becomes fairly vegetal like real red beets. Red beet-like aftertaste and a quick sweet to earthy finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionability about it. Carbonation runs fairly low with a smooth vegetal feel on my tongue.
Overall, did they use red beets in this brewing of this beer? Haha, I think they did and not only did this beer taste like I was drinking red beets, I would say this was done pretty well. Interesting take on an amber ale.
