Description
Founded by local home brewers in 2009, Straight to Ale has quickly grown to become one of Alabama’s largest production breweries.
In the summer of 2016 we opened our new 55,000 square foot facility at Campus 805, reclaiming a long vacant Middle School campus on the edge of downtown Huntsville and turning it into a thriving community of breweries, bars, restaurants, and local shops. At this new location, we expanded to include cider and mead production along with distilled spirits (Shelta Cavern Spirits), a scratch made kitchen (Ale’s Kitchen), a pinball arcade and pool room (Ronnie Rayguns).

Deep mahogany with a long lasting tan head. Nutty malt aroma, some alcohol. The flavor is lightly malty with a light sourness in the finish. A bit washy and thin

12 ounce can courtesy of Suttree. Thanks! Pours a hazy copper with a large creamy tan head. Decent head retention. Aroma of toffee malts with some floral, herbal hops. The taste is herbal, earthy hops with dry toffee malts. Medium bodied. A little muddled, but solid.

12 ounce can courtesy of Suttree. Canned on 02/07/2013. The pour is a hazed orange copper with an inch and a half light tan head. The aroma is orange citrus hops, a bit of floral and a nice toasty malt. The taste is the orange resin hop along with the toasted malt, nice balance between the two flavors, though the taste was not quite as bright as the aroma. The palate is medium bodied with active carbonation and a dry resin finish. Would love to try this fresh on draft - the hops were great in the nose, though lacked some pop in the flavor.

Bottle thanks to beerandblues2. Poured a semi-clear dark brown color with a nice caramel note to it. Smooth, sweet. Pretty tasty. Enjoyed this one a lot. Caramel notes, touch of yeast in there. Alcohol is there, but there isn’t a burn.

22oz bottle pours an oily, opaque black with some creamy, dark brown head. Big nose, burnt toast, heavy licorice, coffee grounds, dark chocolate, brown sugar, a little cherry cordial. Flavor is very roasty, heavy with dark malt, heavy licorice, brown sugar, toast, burnt coconut meat. Full, dry, roasty finish.
