Mad River Jamaica Red Ale

Surprised this rated so low. Pours a dark copper with a thin white head. Good lacing. Aroma of hops and malt. Hops with floral notes and some malt on the tastebuds. Very enjoyable after cutting the grass.

pours absolutely beautiful copper/amber with very little head. very bitter malty/hoppy aroma and flavor. some dark fruit in the aftertaste. one of the better ambers i have had in a long while.

This beer came in my beer club. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a hazy red-amber color with a medium sized orange-tan head. The aroma was tangy, sour and lightly fruity. The flavor was bitter and nutty with fruity and floral hop notes. The finish was sour and bitter.

12 oz. brown stubby Smells of caramel malt with a tinge of citrus from the hops. Is slightly opaque amber in color, with little or no head and minimal sediment. Little to no lacing present. Tastes of subtle cherry and leads into a hint of cedar on the finish. The palate exudes a fair mouth-feel with noticeable spice on the front of the tongue. Ends with a creamy, yet metallic finish. Overall, a nice session ale. I can imagine enjoying this beer with some of Humboldt County’s other fine exports.

Bottled. An unclear amber beer with a thin orangey head. The aroma is sweet with notes primary notes of over ripe fruits as well as a light touch of alcohol. The flavor is sweet with notes of over ripe peaches and prunes, leading to a dry slightly bitter finish. The body is too light, but the aroma and flavor reminds me of a Barley Wine. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.
