Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a light to hazy red color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within about a minute. The lacing was somewhat spotty and didn’t arrange itself in any sort of fashion - it just was all over the place in its lacing.
The smell had mainly a malty kind of sweet to roasty/earthy bittered but tangy citrus hops.
The taste was mainly sweet through the earthy maltiness. A more pronounced caramel maltiness comes out in the taste.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. The carbonation was right on par, as it wasn’t too sharp nor smooth - it seemed just right.
Overall, good red ale worthy of having again.

Sample at the brewpub. The beer is a clear dark amber color with a thin beige head that recedes steadily. Swiss cheese lacing on the glass. Equal parts hops and malt in the nose. Medium body with moderately bitter piney hops and malt flavors. The finish is hoppy at first and leaves an earthy malt aftertaste. Solidly average Amber all around.
