Commercial Description:
Our full-bodied red ale called Paint The Town Red. It joins our IPA as a beer that we'll always produce. It is quite hoppy (what else?) and gets its flavor from generous additions of Cascade hops and crystal malts.

22-ounce brown bottle. Poured a deep reddish amber with a slight cream-colored head. Fragrant hoppy aroma when warmed up. Medium-bodied with hop-over-malt flavor balance. Moderate, slightly dry malty flavor with plenty of hop bitterness. that lasts well in to the finish. Lingering bitter aftertaste. A pretty hoppy "red."

22oz bottle poured a amber/red color with a decent off white head. Aroma was caramel malt sweetness with some citrus hops. The taste was very well balanced and easy drinking with a bigger malt profile than expected. Good Amber Ale.

Bottle (650ml) Murky reddish-brown with a decent creamy tan head. Appealing hoppy/malty aroma, rye, even a hint of chocolate - deep, and bitter - interesting. Taste - woah, this is bitter - funky and bitter, dark chocolate, a little unbalanced, somewhat harsh aftertaste - has a funky, UK hopped-feel to it. Mouthfeel is thick, bitter, astringent and nicely carbonated - interesting.

Nice full body, almost creamy at the front with a pleasant drying bitterness at the end. This beer is not the most consistent, and does not al;ways have the smae nuances. At its best, it has a warm, full taste with fruity flavors. great malt profile, balanced hops. I don’t think this beer should be served on nitro, and strongly prefer it on a regular CO2 tap.

On tap at the brewery. No head, nice toast brown color. Mildly malty and spicy aroma. Good hoppy bite, stronger than most ambers. Mellows out quickly to sweetness. BIt of an olive aftertaste.

Very nice amber appearance with a big malty aroma. Flavor is malty and hopped up with a nice citrus balance. Reminded me of a ruby red grapefruit. Very enjoyable and a future purchase for sure.

Bottled. Pours a dark amber color, almost ruby. Aroma is sweet and somewhat hoppy. Bitter and hoppy right up front. Goes into a little bit of a malty sweetness. Finish is fairly bitter. Not a bad amber.
