Brewed by Cumberland Brews

Serve in English pint

Draft in a pint glass - pours ambe with thin tan head and no visible lacing. Nose is malts. Aroma is roasted malts and caramel with a hint of hops. Tst is sweet and finishes a bit bitter. Not as hoppy as most beers from Cumberland. Mouth is oily. Not a bad beer but nothing exceptional. Would recommend this to this who like the style.

Copper red with a fizzy white head. Light molasses malt and cereal grain aroma and taste with a roasted grain finish.

Deep amber pour with creamy off white head and lace. Sweet caramel malt and light citrus. Caramel malt with a light citrus bitter. Medium bodied but fizzy.

I just had Cumberlands "Red Ale" and am guessing it is this. I agree with most of the people here that it was pretty, but ultimately boring. It didnt really smell or taste like much except a blunt but somewhat muted (if that makes any sense) bitterness coupled with a bland and amorphous malt character. Overall: not horrible by any means, just not special. There are better beers to try at Cumberland.

i had high hopes based on the gorgeous color. but it was ultimately underwhelming. apparently a result of too much crystal malt according to noblesquirrel.

Very pretty filtered red color, nose was quite hoppy. On taste, I had a big problem with the overuse of crystal malt. All I could taste was caramelized malt and a hop bitterness. My least favorite.

On tap at Cumberland brew pub. Dark red with a thin head. Aroma of sweet and roasted malts, caramel and mild hops. Thick body with a roasted character to it. Taste of caramel that finishes with some nice mild hop bitterness. Smooth and balanced.

Draft at the brewpub. 5.5% AbV. Poured a clear ruby brown color. Smelled of resiny hops and light brown sugar. Flavor was similar with some nice malty caramel and mild to moderate hop bitterness of about 4-5 out of 10.
