The appearance is of a beautiful red ale with a thin white head. It's crystal clear showing the gentle carbonation of bubbles rising to the surface. The aroma is typical of a lager providing a small amount of hoppiness with each smell. This beer is very smooth from beginning to end leaving a lingering flavor on the back of the tongue. Starting hoppy and finishing slightly bitter, Old Scratch is very well balanced throughout the tasting experience. There is almost a drying effect in your mouth that makes you crave another sip. We also found a hint of something else, possibly grape.
