Pours clear deep gold with sort of tan head. The aroma is light with mostly sweet malts and a hint of roasty malts behind that. It definitely has a lager-ish taste with fresh crisp Munich maltiness that starts to lean towards roasty malts and then some noble spice bordering on floral hops. This combination of flavors hang around and dwindle into the finish.

Draft at Florida Brewers Guild Beer Fest 2008. Full rating updated as soon as I am more coherent.

Draft a A1A. Poured a auburn color with a moderate frothy white head that diminished quickly. Average sweet malty aroma. Light to medium body with a thin texture. Same sweet malty flavor with little bitter finish of short duration. Many better brews from this location and brewer.

Irish Red Lager, Cloudy light red color, kinda bitter, even though the brewer is a good guy it’s another crap beer from a brewery that only has a good location and great view from the outside deck upstairs.
