COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This is Big Wood’s take on a red/amber ale. Made with American hops and malts that give the beer spicy, fig and caramel notes.

5 oz. pour, as part of a 5-beer flight, on tap at the brewery’s taproom. Pours a clear, light amber to dull copper with taupe head. English-style fruity yeast dominates the smell, producing cherry, taffy, and caramel scents. The taste starts dry and cracker-like but ends fruity and caramel-y. Flavor reminds me of a rose wine. Lemony dry, astringent aftertaste. Light body. Frothy in the palate. Insubstantial mouthfeel. Overall, simple, boring, and forgettable though inoffensive. It is hard to stand out in the amber style, and this beer provides no exception to that rule.

Tap at the taproom - now called Lil’ Red Riding Wood. Soft grain aroma, but fig and dark fruit really come through on the taste. Solid.
