Keg Creek Brick Red Ale

The Keg Creek Brewing Company is in Glenwood, Iowa. The brewery is named after a nearby creek which was originally named Five Barrel Creek for the illicit whiskey found there in the mid-1800's.

The beer pours a dark copper and amber in color, medium dark brown, tinge of red. There is a short and thin head of light tan foam. The aroma is malty, caramel, plums and strawberries. The taste follows the aromas, the malt is toasted, lightly roasted, still the caramel and fruits, enough hops to cut off any malt sweetness and bring it to a lightly bitter finish. Moderately carbonated, slightly dry.
