Redemption Red Ale
Appearance: Colored deep red, the head was about 1 1/2 fingers. It looked like any average red ale, from what I could see, with a little more head on the pour. Smell: Very hoppy, like most beers I've had out here in California. It hits the nose with smells of fruits and flowers, grapefruit for instance, and some brown sugar. Taste: I found the hops were actually balanced by a malty base. This was a pretty sweet beer, and usually I like that. This time however, I found the hoppy sweetness to dominate a little too much. Mouthfeel: Despite the hops, it wasn't incredibly bitter, and along with the medium body, it was satisfying to the palate. Drinkability: The best I can say is that this is good on a hot day. A pint is my limit though.
