On tap at Bold City. It poured brilliant clear amber with white head. The aroma is roasty to burnt malts and really little else. The taste is malty sweet mixing with some crystal malts and a modest level of burnt malts as well. It ends with malt sweetness trying to compete with the layers of roasty goodness. Pretty darn roasty for a red ale.

On tap at Bold City. It poured deep copper with white head. The aroma is strangely Chinook like with spice, earthiness and some citrus. The taste is much the same with a mix of spice and earthy hops along with sweet malts and citrus. It has a pleasing thin layer of sweet malts creating some balance to the largely hoppy flavor.

On tap at Bold City. It poured clear copper with white head. The aroma seems citrusy with a thin layer of soft spicy hops along with sweet malts and a faint sense of ripe cherries. The taste combines a rich sweet maltiness and moderate citrus hop flavor with restrained hop bitterness. It ends both smooth and refreshing with a touch of toffee mixing in with hop flavor and fading malt sweetness.

On tap at Bold City. It poured deep gold with off white head. The aroma is bright with spice and earthy hops along side malts and a touch of rye. The taste has some graininess, a modest rye twang, a bit of grapefruit and nearing lemon acidity. It ends a bit dry and refreshing.

On tap at Bold City. It poured copper with lasting off white head. The aroma is modest in strength with a dash of roast and malt to go along with some nuttiness and a sense of burnt malts. The taste has layers of malts, roast and burnt malts to start then heading into some solid malt sweetened nuttiness. There’s a layer of mild pine like hop bitterness persisting throughout the flavor profile.

On tap at Bold City. It poured a bit of a departure from amber with more of a deep gold body supporting a white head of foam. The aroma is mild in strength bringing up tepid notes of earthiness, malts and little else. The taste is sweet with malts and then it becomes mildly roasty with a thin layer of caramel ‘round about midway. It gets a bit biscuit like as the finish approaches. If there are any hops in this beer there are at just the noticeable level and fail to add any balance to the layers of malty sweetness.

On tap at Bold City. It poured clear deep gold with thin white head. The aroma is mostly floral hops with some spice in the background. The taste is a bit bright with spice hops moving into floral hops and a modest level of sweet malts and wheat. It is concluded by a dry nearly refreshing sensation along with a lingering sense of sweet light skinned fruity esters.

On tap at Bold City. It poured clear gold with white head and some sheet lacing. The aroma is full of grainy goodness, some light malts and a touch of floral hops. Wow, full on grainy flavors start this thing out followed by some sweet malts running around in the background. I also get a thin layer of floral hops hovering overhead sort of here and there, ...see. It ends dry. Nice stuff.
