On tap at Capone’s. Deep copper color with a thin white head. Smells of bread and spicy noble hops. Lightly bitter flavor with a good deal of hop character, spicy and soapy. Different and very good.

On tap at Capones in PA- Ruddy amber some white head, good lacing. Tinge of hops and citrus on the nose. Caramel and hops balance with a great malty presence. Some light bitterness through the middle, refreshing and a good balance.

Cask in Pheonixville. Poured amber in color with a small sized beige head. Aroma of caramel with some hops. Tastes of toffee, caramel, piney and citrus hops which balances nicely. Pretty nice overall.

Thaks to Tyrone for the growler and eric for the many samples on tap at his house. Pours a medium to deep amber, hazy with a nice lasitng head. Aroma is american citric hops- hint sof metallic earhty citrus cascades, some sweet orangey citrus centennial and possibly grapefruit pine columbus hops- with a crystally caramel malt. Good thick sweet caramel malts, but a bit too sharp with too dark crystal malts, buttery caramel with molasses, with all the citrusy hops- orange and a bit of cat pee./ Relatively smooth with a decent tacky bitterness in the end. This was a pretty good double red.
