Red Trolley Ale
Freebie from the In-Laws house figure why not give er a review. Notes from 09/12/11 12oz to pint glass A: Red Trolley pours a deep hazy amber color with a thin one finger sandy colored head. No stay power. No lace really. S: Smells malty sweet with toffee notes and a slight orange tartness to it. T: Tastes of warm toasty sweet toffee and caramel notes. A bit more classic to the style. Still some slight hop bitterness. Orange and pine in there. Dash of alcohol. Sweet dry finish. M: Light-med. body with a dry finish. Nice carbonation levels. Keeps the chewy caramel malts at bay. D: I found myself enjoying this brew after having at so many restaurants and parties/events etc. I would say this brew has mass appeal and would be a good "gateway" craft recommendation. You get a caramel flav distinct to the style with a lighter less-filling body and actual decent hop bitterness.
