Red Oak Amber
3.50 out of 5.00 | Good

Had this on tap twice on a recent visit to Greensboro, NC – once in Old Town, and once at Smokey Bones.

Pretty simple and drinkable brew that lacks the dry bite of a true amber/red, but certainly has more taste than a simple pale ale. Drinks above the 3.8% advertised. Nice looking red body with a rather small head. Good lace that belies the lack of head. Plenty of simple malts and a sweet bread character that defines this beer. Tasty finish, but lacks the dry character that I would expect for the style as well as much hop profile.

All in all a decent option locally, especially fresh and on tap, but after a while would probably not excite much.
