Our Tastes-- Salty Nut Imperial Moustache Red Ale


Picked up some Imperial Moustache Red Ale while passing through HuntsVegas and have just now gotten around to knocking this growler out. Salty Nut is a new micro in Huntsville, AL that seems to be on the right track with regards to marketing and consistent product. No technical data on the brew via their website but it's a great example of the red ale class. Color is a deep ruby, with a hop nose that's relatively non existent though they tout using extra. Oddly enough the water profile seems neutral to hard like most reds, which tells me they have some good attention to detail on this batch. No hop bitterness on the taste, mouthfeel is full with a slight astringent grain taste of husk. Not sure of the abv, but the contents of the growler disappeared quickly and quietly;)
