COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Ambition Ale is a full flavored medium bodied red ale that upholds the philosophy of "checks and balances." Caramel and toasted malts notes are balanced by subtle citrus and spicy hop character from Cluster hops, America’s oldest hop verity. Born of the land to high ideals, ambition ale celebrates the innate nobility in us all.

A hearty ale that brings a smashing combination of citrus and toasted and caramel malts. Satisfyingly smooth yet hearty. An attractive red hue and noble bouquet add to the aesthetic value, but this beer’s beauty is in it’s taste. One of my favorite DB offerings. Zum Wohl!

Keg at the brewpub, 10/12/14. Pours a clear copper with a thin creamy tan head. Good head retention. Aroma of toasted malt, caramel, mild stone fruit and floral notes. The taste is floral, earthy hops, toasted malts. Medium bodied, mild lingering bitterness.
