Pours a dark amber/red with a nice creamy off white head. Great retention and some spotty lacing. Aromas of weak caramel, sweet malts and a faint aroma of hops. Flavors are similar, sweet malts, hops and a decent balance of hops. Overall decent, but nothing to get excited about. dalekliz (546), San Diego, California, USA Jan 26, 2009 On tap at the brewpub as 2220 Red Ale. Pours a dark reddish-brown with a white head.
