From Skyviews growler. Lightly roasted aroma and roasted grain flavor. Some nuttiness. Brown with a red hue. Solid for a simple session beer.

[Growler, thanks Skyview] Pours deep red with a good beige head. Aroma has a lot of musty maltiness with only a bit of nuttiness in there. The same is present in the taste with a little more of the nut and a good deal of toastiness also. Medium-thin mouthfeel and quite smooth. Long finish. Im not a fan of the musty character here, but it was ok overall.

Growler thanks to Skyview. Brown/reddish color with a medium head. Nice chalky aroma with hazelnuts. The chalky taste and mouthfeel persists. Nuttiness faded into a somewhat charred malt.

After many years of drinking nut brown ales, this is the first nut red ale Ive encountered. Pours a clear reddish amber brew with a thin and fast dissipated off-white head that leaves behind a thin film top and a good retaining off-white ring with spotty lacing. Aroma is almost absent when first served until I allowed this beer to warm up. The aroma has some light caramel malt, a touch of hazelnuts, and some pear character. Taste is light bodied, very light multi-grain amber malts, with no bitterness in the aftertaste whatsoever. A good example of a lighter summer craft beer.
