Tasting Notes
Balanced with malt and bitterness. Caramel notes with a touch of toast.
A straight forward amber ale. Not over the top like an American Red or Imperial Red. Balanced, drinkable with a little more malt, caramel and toast than a standard pale ale. This recipe won a Silver medal at the 2009 Southern California Regional Champoinship.
