12 oz. Orangy amber pour, just a whispy layer of white head. Not too much going on here.

Rich malty aroma, caramel and toffee. Barely hints of earthy peat, tea and hops for that matter. Some would frown on that, I don't mind at all.

Taste, hops are slightly more assertive, but very well balanced. Unusual for a Lagunitas brew. Toffee blended with citrus. Some leather and treacle. Finishes with some caramel and light resiny bitter.

Light body but mouth filling. Carbonation keeps it drinkable, even with the sweeter than normal profile.

I enjoyed this more than most of their big beers.

4.01/5 rDev +6.9%

I served the poured at a lower than recommended temp- at about 41F.
The beer has better tasting and aroma notes at the lower temp.

Color: a beautiful copper color with a 2 finger head which resolves to about 1 finger.

Aroma: Light cloves and spice. I was surprised at the aroma- most American amber ales are not spicy, and the aroma enhances the overall character of the beer.

Good carbonation indicative of the style- tangy and puckering on the tongue.

Lightly and pleasantly bitter at 35 IBUs.

The taste, like the aroma, is different for this style: tangy orange, citrus, grapefruit.

Overall- a solid red ale. This beer is far more enjoyable than the typical American Amber- it has good flavor: fruit and spice.

The spice and fruit fades with warming. A colder temperature will bring out a good aroma and taste, and also a special tang. Stemware is recommended.
