After a long dull day at work I decided I need to go get a beer. So my friend David and I head across the street to Tavern on France. After looking at the beer menu I decide to go with a firebrick by Schells, not really knowing what it is. But I chose it for two reasons, it's by August Schell's brewery, a local brewery, which I'm sure many of us have a mild weakness for something done locally, and it was the closest thing to a micro brew they had.
Turns out to be a red ale, with a rather auburn color. Very little aroma, nice mellow flavor. A good beer to have a few with some food. However now that it begins to warm up, more flavor starts to come out. More of the hoppiness, a bit of a nutty flavor, and maybe a hint of orange. If I were at the bar and wanted to have a few, not just one, this may be one of my new go to choices. Definitely recommend to try if you come across it, not something to go out of your way for however.
