On tap sampler from the restaurant in February--nice deep copper color with lots of lacing--at least as much lacing as you can get in a 4 oz glass. Caramel and citrus aroma with a malty taste. Good, solid finish with a touch of citrus.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Draft at the brewpub. An opaque red brown beer with a nice frothy light tan head. The feel us smooth and kind of has fruit like pulp in the feel. The nose is hop forward with citrus. Those hops also define the flavor. They are pronounced yet subtle. Malt comes next and they are bready and yeasty. This is nice.

Live rate @ Flossmoor Station. Rainy, windy, cloudy day just outside of Chicago. Brew pours a deep, rich Oak Creek red...murky, rusty penny color. Small eggshell head leaves quickly but leaves a ton of sticky lacing. Aroma of caramel malt, roast, honey, and mild vanilla laced citrus. Lots of candied orange and vanilla in flavor as well accompanied by sweet malt and toffee. Medium to chewy mouthfeel. Not bad...glad I had a chance to try it!!!

Reviewed from notes.
Pours amber with a light tan head and some sticky lace. The nose is pretty malt with some bread, and then there is quite a bit of citrus hops on top of that. The taste strikes more of a balance, but this is definitely a fairly hoppy red ale. Good feel with nice bitterness and body. Pretty good overall.
Serving type: on-tap

On tap at the brewery, one of the highlights of a nice 12 sampler...Pours a dark copper with a light amber. The head on this makes the appearance, a awesome tope head with great retention and lacing that coats the glass the whole drinking experience top to bottom...The aroma is like a malty ipa, lots of caramel, with grass wet hops, its really appetizing...Taste is grass hops that have a fresh bite which is nice, maybe that bite is the rye. Very fresh and clean to hops, super fun and easy to drink.
A brew worthy of getting.
