Commercial Description:
While hops and bitterness are all the rage today this beer takes time to explore the complexity and character of malt. This red is really more of a rich scarlet and is created from a wide variety of speciality malts carefully milled together to form a layer of toast, roast, and bisquit with a nutty finish. These are balanced with mild and complementary hops resulting in a beer neither too bitter nor too sweet.

Draught. Poured red with medium white head.. Toasty aroma. Malty flavour, with fresh toast and biscuitty notes. Enough hop in the finish to keep it from being too sweet.

Had this on tap at Fort George. Colour... Ruddy amber with a thin tan head. Nose... grainy and nutty. Palate... some hops up front, then NUTS! I don’t think there are any actual nuts in here, but it seems rather filbert like, to me. Bitter on the back palate with some roasty malt and medium finish.

On tap at Fort George, a cool place in the hometown of the Goonies. One of my least favorite beers here. Reddish auburn in color. Aroma of nuts, fruit and earth. Flavor was pretty sweet, a bit too much actually. Caramel and fruit. Not a big fan here.

Draught @ the brewpub. Pours a dark amber brownish color with a small off-white head. Has a roasted malty caramel aroma with some pine hoppy hints. Sweetish malty caramel flavor with some hoppy hints. Has a sweet malty caramel finish.

Tasted at Brewery in Astoria, OR--Poured a mild brownish amber body with a thin whitish head. Nose of nutty sweet, crisp malts and a dash of sticky caramel and pine. Dry, prickly finish. Another solid FG brew.

Draught at Green Dragon - Not a bad beer, but I only wanted one. It tasted a bit too bready for me.

Draft at the brewpub. A nut brown beer with a thin brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of grass and caramel - the aroma is a bit too light for my liking. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel as well as lighter notes of rye and bread, leading to a dry bitter and grapefruity finish.
