Commercial Description:
A deep reddish-amber brew that is characterized by the savory toasted flavors of Munich malt. German varieties of hops are used in the brewing process which lends a European flare that is much like the "Altbier" style of Dusseldorf. Having a medium body and a firm, crisp finish gives the perception of driness, leaving the drinker quenched and ready to quaff another.

Tap in tasting “corner” at brewery in Vista, CA: Bronze color. Nutty, rich malts, sweet candy cane sweetness and a light bitterness. Very nice red ale, I wish I had more than just a small plastic cup of it.
