Tocobaga Red Ale

Pours clear with a half glass of thick, tan foam. Retention is above average. Lacing is sporadic but sticky with staying power. Aroma has citrus written all over it will some pine hops backing it up. Caramel malts form the backbone that the hops sit on. Don't be surprised if you mistake for an IPA by aroma only. Taste is sweet up front with hops joining in the middle, through to the end and into the finish. Hops are mainly citrus: orange, apricot, and mango. The finish is slightly sweet coinciding with a bitter bite that is pleasant with some staying power. Medium body with a medium carbonation that fits with a creamy center. One of the finer amber ales I have had. Maybe it is the hops, and it probably is, as this beer is easy to drink. The ABV is hidden well and makes it dangerously easy to drink on another hot, humid day in the mid west. Enjoy!
