Lucid Akilter Red Ale

Lucid Brewing is from Minnetonka, Minnesota. Their motto is "Clarity in Thinking, Excellence in Drinking." This red ale is a limited release that was the winning recipe of Ted Weidman from the 2012 Minnesota Top Brewer contest.

The beer pours a dark chestnut brown with a red tinge. There is a tall, thick foamy head that is off-white to very light brown in color. The aroma is malty, caramel, toasted, and roasted, with some dark fruits and a fruity, yeasty tang. The taste follows the aromas quite directly. The finish is dry and moderately bitter. There is a nice nutty aftertaste. This is a good red ale, congrats Ted!
