Presents a deep amber liquid with no head atop it. I am beginning to become disheartened by the brews at the Station. The aroma is almost non-existent The malt is dry with a bit more bitterness that the Golden Ale. A bit of Black malt is really all that seems to separate this ale from the Golden ale reviewed previously. Hops predominate the flavor profile and leave an unpleasant sharpness to the balance.

Serving type: on-tap

Pours a clear red, topped with a one finger off-white head, leaves sheets of lacing.
Citrus and grass aroma, a bit of wood, pale and crystal malt.
Snappy citrus taste, wood note, caramel hiding under the strong citrus presence.
Medium-full body. One of only 2 beers worth having at this brewpub.

Serving type: on-tap
