E. J. Phair Phat Quail

I’m not sure this is the right one but from the other reviews seem similar to my experience. Labeled a "hoppy red", lots of caramel in the nose, citrus hops. Color is a nice reddish brown, no head poured. Quite sweet caramel followed by sourish grapefruit, pretty thick MF, some pine, dry finish.

(Draft: E.J. Phair Alehouse in Concord, CA) This is a pretty big and hoppy amber, balanced from start to finish, caramely and moderately sweet, with a moderately bitter non-citrusy hops that provides quite the bite in the finish. The caramely malt is sweet without seeming sugary. The nose is mostly hoppy, but not citrusy, and a light caramel aroma sits in the background. Medium "plus" in body, even in the finish, and the hops gives the beer some crispness on the palate. Pretty much a straight amber color. Large, creamy, light tan head takes many minutes to settle to a thin, yet still full layer, and as I’m drinking the beer, a dense curtain of lace is left on the entire surface of the pint glass. Though alcohol is typical for the style, this really seems like a big amber, certainly bigger, more flavorful, and with more body than the typical amber. Very solid amber.

Draft. Called a hoppy amber. Dark amber with a beige head. Some citrus hop aroma. Flavor of citrus (grapefruit), some pine with malt backing. Some caraeml and earthy biscuit flavors as well. Easy to drink.
