Mendocino Brewing - Red Tail Ale

From Joe Drinks Dinner and Stuff


This is completely unoffensive and uninspiring. A hint of malt sweetness lingers for an aftertaste. Fairly crisp and not really that sweet. Low bitterness. I'd never buy it, but wouldn't refuse it.

New Belgium - Red Hoptober

From Joe Drinks Dinner and Stuff


Ooo. This is pretty tasty. Slight chocolate/roast aftertaste. Nice bitterness. The centennial and cascade hops come through great. I'd recommend it.

Olivers - The Spruce is Loose

From Joe Drinks Dinner and Stuff


Brewed with blue spruce tips

I wasn't sure what this would taste like. It doesn't taste "piney" which is neither good nor bad. Very malty and sweet. Honestly not that great.

Maine Beer Company - Zoe

From Joe Drinks Dinner and Stuff


Definitely hoppy (and bitter). A slight hint of chocolate/roasted malt. Nice enough.

Sam Adams - Tasman Red

From Joe Drinks Dinner and Stuff


This was actually really good. The musty hop flavor came through nicely (tasted like the same hops as in Devil Dancer but without a shit ton of them) and it was balanced by a nice caramely maltness. I'd recommend it, and if it came in 6 packs I'd probably actually buy it on occasion.

Bear Republic - Red Rocket Ale

From Joe Drinks Dinner and Stuff


This is a lot darker than I was expecting. Its also a lot hoppier than I was expecting. Its good though.

Green Flash - Hop Head Red Ale

From Joe Drinks Dinner and Stuff


So I broke my policy of buying beer from Green Flash (again), due to downsizing to four packs and raising prices, and bought a single of this.

Its good. Moderately bitter. Slightly caramely. Pretty tasty.
