Red Cat Amber
Pours a pretty clear rich copper-amber color, topped by a thin pale head. The aroma actually has a bit of citrus hop character in it, which I was not expecting. The taste is nicely bitter from start to finish. There is some nice malty notes here as well, though it is a bit hard to pick out. I get notes of caramel, a dry toasty biscuit character in the finish. The hop flavor reminds me of pine needles, and fresh cut herbs more than the citrus that I detected in the nose. Overall a decent example of the style, and I like that this was on the dry side.
