A really tasty brew enjoyed outside at the Magnusen Cafe and Brewery. I dont see myself ordering this style as much as I probably should. I enjoy them more and more each time I try one, and this one is a unique and interesting addition to the style. Copper red pour, darker than most, clean. Aroma is subtle, smooth grains, earthy, grassy hops. Flavor definitely has a sweet side to it, but I'm kind of glad it does. Ri h caramel, bready background, dank hoppy finish, all flavor, moderate to quiet bitterness. Smooth red, but plenty going on with it. A good half winter, half summer beer to go with this half winter, half summer weather we are having in Seattle. Tasty.
