Seems to settle nicely between a classic malt-forward red ale an more modern, hoppier iterations. Offers up citrus and stone fruit notes against a honey-caramel maltiness, leading to a mild, pine-dusted finish. Nice pint.

Single from the Brew Shop in Arlington. Pint glass back at home. Russet brown, cola, somewhat opaque, weak oatmeal head. Slightly smokey & sweet nose, sticky cereal, savory oatmeal nose. Taste is bittersweet, not as god as it smells. Cindered meat & dry cola, burnt in the pan oatmeal, bitter chocolate, scalded milk, lingering earthy bite. A twinge of metal. Thin, light bodied with a starchy back-end, a touch of heat. Good enough.

Basic light lager, crisp and unobtrusive. Mild grainy sweetness, no hops to speak of. Eh.

Nice barleywine, with a deep caramel and toasted bread middle wrapped in pine and dried fruit. Booze isn’t noticeable, which could cause trouble. Tasty.

Very hazy pale yellow colour, half inch of creamy snow-white head; aroma of citrusy-lemony-lemon zesty, fruity, tropical fruity, some floral and cereals-oatmeal notes; taste has the same notes as can be felt in the aroma with a great amount of hoppy bitterness and some celery-like spiciness; good one
