COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Rich Malty and sweet... The 'less aggressive beer', this beer is balanced toward a malty sweetness from a generous contribution of crystal malts. If you came in for a Railyard, try a Homestead Red instead

GJF (1078) - Mount Vernon, Iowa, USA - AUG 26, 2011
On tap at the brewpub. Orange beer with thin white head. Sweet, caramel aroma. Smooth malty flavor with a bit of hop at the end. It’s a generic red, nothing very exciting, but it’s one of their nicer beers. Very drinkable.

Poured a nice reddish orange little head. Nice caramel malt aroma. Flavor was toasty malt with nice balanced sweetness.

3fourths (6933) - Boulder, Colorado, USA - AUG 26, 2008
Draught at the brewery. Filtered rusty red colored body with a small near-white head. Nutty, chewy caramel malt base with some honey and caramel candy sweetness across the middle, and a bran and dog food note that develops across the back. Astringent and coarse texture, with some harsh burnt peanuts in the finish. Hop presence is nutty and bready up front, but gets consumed in the dog food bran malt flavor in the back. Forgettable.

GeneralGao (3614) - Iowa City, Iowa, USA - NOV 11, 2006
Draught at the brewpub. Clear orange-red color with off white head that laced the glass. Light fruity aroma (plum and fig) accented by a hint of toasted bread. Fruity flavor with malty caramel and toast notes. Reminded me a bit of a fresh-tasting Bass Ale.

heemer77 (5007) - Urbandale, Iowa, USA - SEP 6, 2006
This was a fairly solid amber ale. The body was a rusty colored dark red with a slightly off white head. The aroma was sweet caramel with some toast and peanuts.The taste was toasty with some caramel. There were also almonds in the smooth finish. I enjoyed this one.

Draft-4 oz. sampler--Wow, about the most average beer I’ve had in a long time. Solid malt aroma with a malty taste. The color was a dark red with a small white head.
