2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20 Bulk_Carrier (2889) - Final Resting Place, Vermont, USA - JUN 28, 2014
Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a nice looking red/amber color with a decent one finger white foamy head that had a decent dissipating lacing around the glass.
The smell had a lot of roasted caramel maltiness running about a fairly decent nuttiness in and out of the aroma.
The taste took those flavors and let it be mainly sweet and allowing it to have somewhat of a watery finish.
On the palate, this one sat fairly light and had a pretty good sessionability about it.
Overall, in my opinion, this wasnt a bad red ale, its just not a stellar one. It was nice to try but nothing to miss once I moved away from New England.

A very tasty and drinkable medium cloudy amber brew. Good carbonation. Light sweet roasty aromas and rich flavors. Well balanced - not overly sweet. Roasty sweet finish. A solid amber.
