Commercial Description:
Some beer lovers enjoy a rich, malty brew, while others go more for hoppy beers. Our brewmaster likes both - as evidenced by this rich and caramelly amber ale with the distinct flavor and bouquet of Cascade hops. Reaching the perfect balance of crystal malt sweetness and hop bitterness took plenty of time and effort, making Redpoint the perfect beer for toasting your most recent success.

Nice red brown, crystal clear with a medium bubbly head that fades fast but leaves a bit of lace. Aromas are sweet and fruity with a hop herbalness, led by pineapple, spice, caramel, sugar and ripe dark fruit, with an undercurrent of alcohol and diacetyl. Taste is heavy bodied blend of toasty malt, sweet fruitiness, some medicinal herbs, and bitter hops. There is a secondary spiciness and some floral hop flavor. Very thick and viscuous, not much aftertaste. Whether you’re a malt junky or a hop head, you’ll find something there for you.

Great hop flavor and aroma. Very fruity and a litle carmel flavor. Great beer.

From a bottle--pours a crystal brownish red with a nice-sized head that is slow to settle down. Great lacing. Aroma is very malty with a strong nuttiness. First taste impression is of BIG, nutty malt followed closely by a wallop of bitter hops. Bitterness lingers for some time after a swallow. Wow, this is an "in your face" brew. Lots going on here and it’s definitely interesting. Superb!

APA? Classic Pale? ESB? What is this? Exceptional nose of pine & grapefruit, with some flowers; very enticing. Pours a lightly sparkling copper orange. The nice cascade resolves into a tall mostly lasting creamy stiff & rocky beige head that leaves behind good lace. The start is balanced with a bready middle and a spicy bitter finish. The medium body is creamy and soft. Highly quaffable, and very dangerous.

This is not your typical boring amber ale. Pours a beautiful deep crimson red with an off white head. Aroma is malty and floral. This brew is excellent- bold, full and chewy. Taste consists of a ton of caramel malt and hops with an earthy, floral citrus feel to it. Beautifully balanced between chewy malty sweetness with a ton of hops. Moderaltely bitter. Mouthfeel is very full, round and creamy. A very refreshing brew that goes down very smooth. Highly recommended!
