On tap at the Grumpy Troll Brew Pub. Poured a medium amberish color with a small sized off white head. Aromas of caramel and a little fruity. Tastes follow suit. On the sweeter side.

On tap at the Grumpy Troll brewpub. Hazy red with a thin off-white head. Aroma of caramel, fruit and mild smoke. Taste is more of the same with a mild bitter and astringent aftertaste.
