Mugs Ale House, Brooklyn cask: I had this once before on draught, but it wasn’t on ratebeer, and I couldn’t remember its whole name. Anyway, it pours a fairly clear dark red with an off-white head. Aroma is somewhat citrusy, with sort of caramel malts, but there really is more in the way of bite. The taste itself is lightly bitter. This was not nearly as sweet as would be expected. Alcohol is surprisingly well covered.
