Tap - @ RHP. Pours hazy orange-crimson-brown with decent white head. No real lacing. Diminishing. Sticky aromas of caramel, figgy pudding, vanilla, oak. Medium-full bodied, quite long, sticky. Fruit froward finish. Did I mention sticky? Pretty good offering, though I do prefer their brunette. A bit much, could only manage one though.

Pretty standard Amber ale. Sessionable with a decent body. Nice caramel tastes and a hint of hops.

This was a unique red ale for sure. The flavors were so complex that my tongue was confused the entire time I was drinking it (which is fun). I would have liked a higher IBU, but still very solid regardless.

On tap at the brewery in Berlin, MD. Pours a mostly clear amber colored body with a finger-width, dense and creamy, tan head that dissipates slowly and leaves a nice lacing. Aroma is sweeter caramels with a good amount of red berry fruits, some orange, and a light melon. A moderate grass, some nutty cookies, and a light citrus note. Flavor is similar. Sweet caramel cookies with a good amount of fruity hops consisting of citrus, strawberry, and melon. A moderate grass to balance with a few esters and a touch of toasted bread towards the end. Finishes on the sweeter side of things, but pretty dry and moderately bitter with a good amount of fruits. Lengthy aftertaste following a mostly full body with a moderate carbonation. Overall, a solid, bigger red ale. On the sweeter side with lots of fruity hops, but well balanced with a solid grassy hopping. Not bad.

Serving: Draft at the brewery. Dark amber pour. The nose has a touch of caramel and chocolate with some light roasted notes. Fairly robust for an amber. The flavor is fruity with a good dose of nuttiness and leans towards the sweet side. Medium to full bodied. Sweet but good.

This poured a ruby red color with a beige head. Aroma was of citrusy hops, some toasted malts and nutty notes. Flavor was somewhat bitter but malty, toasted, some butter notes too. OK.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a light amber color with a small white head, that quickly falls to a ring. Sweet caramel malt aroma, with breadiness and light herbal hops. Big sweet malt flavor with light hop presence. Caramel, bread and a slight nuttiness follow through underneath. The alcohol is slightly warming and very well hidden. Medium body, with average carbonation and a mild bitterness.

Tap at brewery. Pours lightly hazy amber with a small, fizzy white head, short retention with spare lacing. Aroma is caramel, cookie and nutty malt, fruity esters and herbal hops. Flavor is malt dominant, fruity esters, light hops and bitterness with a dry finish. Medium body, warmth and carbonation.
