COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Ivan’s Firefly Ale - the name goes back to a recipe of amber ale that I brewed one spring evening. When I finished bottling the beer, I found a firefly left over, that must have flown into the kettle while I was boiling the wort. I thought the beer would be ruined, but it turned out to be one of the most delicious ales I had made! Firefly Amber ale is toasty in flavor with hints of dried fruit and generous amounts of US Golding hops. It’s brewed in time to welcome the fireflies back in season in your backyard. Oh yeah, can you pick out the taste of the secret ingredient? Don’t worry, no fireflies were harmed in the making of THIS beer.

On tap at the brewery. Hazy brown orange with a thin white head. Aroma of faint caramel. Taste is caramel, then citrus hops, nicely lingering bitter finish.

On draft at the brewpub. Poured a dark brown color with a one finger tan head. The aroma was dark fruits, a bit of sweet malt and spiciness. The flavor was mainly malty, but in a good way. Dark fruits dominated, with a sweet malty finish. Hops never really presented too much in this one. A minor bitterness was all I could detect.
