A deep garnet, this ale pours a frothy beige cap. In the nose, deeply rooted dark fruits give way to a perfume, bubblegum, banana, and some yeasty esters. Lots of toasty notes with dark bread, caramel malts. Flavour profile initially is sweet with dark fruit and caramel. This leads to toasty spicy flavours with a hint of smoke and fall fruits. The hops come through to balance the sweetness perfectly. Very nice dense head with good lacing and retention. This is a full bodied amber ale with a nice balance of creamy grainy fruitiness, and sharp hops bitterness. 4.6 % alcohol by volume, IBU's 30.0 Food Pairings: Steak, Nachos, Barbeque, Pizza, Fried Cod, Guacamole, Roast Chicken, Turkey, Onion Tarte

Part of the Iron Spike series that put Railway City on the map. The appearance is a slightly hazed golden brown colour, so not really amber. The head is frothy, and cream coloured. There is some caramel and fruit notes in the aroma, as well as hops and old grains. The flavour is metallic caramel, spices, and grass.

Growler from the brewery: Pours a clear dark amber-red with a modest white cap. Aroma: plumb-apricot with some toastiness and grassy tones. Medium body, light sweet toasy caramel malt profile, fruity esters and some hop resins in a light drying finish. Uncomplicated straight forward session amber.
