Great Lakes Nosferatu

Great Lakes Nosferatu is an American Amber/Red Ale.

This has a very nice clear red color with good head from a normal, non aggressive pour. Getting a combination of pineapple, pine and caramel on the nose. Smells great. The taste is similar to the smell, but I get just a little of that wonderful pineapple in the taste. Classic semi-sweet caramel red ale malt base, which is followed by a surprisingly strong earthy hop flavor with just a hint of citrus. A little dry and earthy on the finish, hint of pine as well in the aftertaste.

This is an amazingly solid Imperial Red Ale, I can see why this is a favorite Fall Seasonal where it’s distributed.
