On tap, Tyler’s Taproom, Durham, NC, USA.
$4.25 for the 16oz “pint”.
Classic look, with a deep garnet hue and a good half-inch of solid, foamy head. Head disappeared quite quickly, some lace.
Very solid offering from a reliable brewer that consistently hits the spot in terms of styles and drinkable beers. Nice hop/malt balance, but the most important attribute for a Red is the finish. This hit the spot with a characteristic, dry note and left a subtle and pleasing aftertaste. Lots of (partial) session potential I would think, but without knowing the actual ABV I would still be a little wary.
More good beer from the guys in Winston-Salem.
