Commercial Description:
Our flagship beer, an American amber ale. This beer is among the many styles of beer that have evolved, or grown out of the craft-beer movement. Redwood Ale is medium bodied with a somewhat sweet caramel flavor derived from the use of crystal malt. A touch of chocolate malt helps bring out the red-amber hue. Hop flavor and aroma are evident in the aftertaste, but, hop bitterness is subdued, making for an easy drinking ale.

Nice red color with an off whtie head. Found the beer to be a little flat for my taste. Almost like it was missing some hops. Not impressive or really note worthy. It just did not stand out for me.

Draught at the brewpub. Pours reddish amber with a small off-white head. Aroma is caramel malt, some fresh orange, and some light hops. Flavor is the same, maybe with a bit of spruce or pine. A malt-heavy amber with some interesting flavors.

I am not a fan of this brewery but this is one of their least offensive beers. Pours a nice reddish color. Has a mild aroma of some caramel and maybe a bit of hops (could be my imagination). Flavor is bland and dry. Finishes clean.

Nice pour. Good head and decent lacing after three days in a growler. Maybe a teensie bit lighter than I'd like, but nice and clear. The flavor's very well balanced. I'm getting a much longer malt finish than hops but that's not a problem. A very nice drinking beer.
