This copper brew is nicely balanced with all Nugget hops. Not quite as hoppy as the German alts but very tasty and complex. The finish is malty with hops at the tail end.

UPDATED: NOV 28, 2007 Pours reddish amber with a mostly mainted light tan wispy head. Aroma of sweet citrus, toffee, caramel. Taste is biscuity and bready with a restrained spicy hop finish. One of the better Cumberland Brews. If I come to Cumberland and have tried all the beer, I usually go for this or the Nitro Porter.

slightly cloudy dark amber with an off white head that leaves nice lacing. aroma heavy on the orange. very fruity with some caramel malt and a nice dose of hops. bittersweet caramel malt and citrus hops make for a very balanced flavor with a bit of spice. long bitter hoppy finish. medium body. lively carbonation. this was a great very balanced red. very impressed. i have had this beer from time to time in the past year and it just keeps getting better.
