Draught at the brewery. FDGD 08. Beer is cloudy, medium amber-brown. Head is moderate, off-white, foamy/creamy. Diminishes mostly, ultimately lasts, leaves a clingy crust of racing.<P>The aroma is malty with moderate malt notes of caramel, toasted grain and cookie; Hoppy with a light note of dried apricot, moderate notes of resin/pine lighter notes of herb and cedar; Yeasty with a trace of sweaty basement.<P>The flavor is moderately sweet, moderately-to-heavily bitter, lightly-to-moderately acidic with a long, moderately-to-heavily bitter, lightly sweet, lightly acidic (dry) finish. Dull, dirty-penny-like bitterness in the aftertaste.<P>The body is medium, the texture is watery and the carbonation is average.<P>Server called this an Imperial Red, but it seemed very hoppy for that.

May 14, 2008 red brown with a lacing sticky head. sweet honeyed nose. copper is a fitting description for the color. flavor-straightforward sweet malt. a very sweet beer that is far from complex. a bit tannic in the finish some vanilla notes and a vegetable hop taste that balances while not complimenting the sugar. i guessed 6.3 for the abv, very doughy
