Draft from a sampler at the San Ramon brewpub. A good looking pour of deep bright cranberry. Not much else going on. A little caramel malt in the nose and the flavor, but surprisingly little else. A tad watery.

Very good flavor and totally satisfying. Home brew flavor. Simple and straight forward. Solid beer and not disappointing at all. Not complex but real beer quality. it’s like grandmas custard. Simple and delicious.
