The beer pours - as advertised - absolutely crimson. The taste of this beer is primarily malty, with some biscuty notes. There is also a solid hop overtone, that shows up at the beginning of each sip. On the whole, it is one of the most drinkable beers I’ve had in years. It isn’t so heavy that it makes you pace yourself, but yet isn’t thin enough for you to forget about it between sips. The Caramel and Munich malts are just right, and the little notes of hops that come through on the aroma are just right to keep it interesting from the first pour to the very last.

Pours a hazy amber with ruby hues...a super thin tan head. Aroma has some tea notes and light maltiness...yam n.tes. Flavor follows suit...balanced...some dry leaves and earthy hops. Mouthfeel is medium and the finish is more earthy/bitter than malty/leafy.
