A clear red/brown colored beer, with a thick foamy beige head. The aroma of red fruits with hops. The taste of fresh fruits with some hops. The aftertaste is sweet with a small bitter.

Pours brownish red with a thin white head. Smells of resiny hops, some sweet malty undrtones. Tastes velvety with some nice resiny hints and a spicy finish. Enjoyable.

Sample pour after an element tasting. Pours out a nice tan/red hue, off white head. Aromas are a bit sweeter, somewhat floral, lighter fruits, some pine bitterness. Palate is nothing exciting, but I think it follows the nose quite well. Finish comes up slightly short, but the entry to mid floral and citrus is decent. Not too bitter as it fades to the malty short finish.
