Maumee Bay Fallen Timbers Red Ale

Brewed by Maumee Bay Brewing Co. & Restaurant
Style: Amber Ale
Toledo, Ohio USA

7/20/2007: Maumee Bay Fallen Timbers Red Ale pours a clear, depp honey-amber color with a small off-white head. Creamy malt dominate the aroma and flavor. There is also some toast and an even, balanced bitterness in the flavor as well. A slight citrus flavor is present in the dry finish. Medium-bodied. This is a typical Irish-style Red Ale.

Draught at the Oak Room during the Ohio Brew Week in Athens, Ohio. Rating #13 for this beer...

Pours copper red clear with a small head. Nice hoppy happy smell with some malt. Nice roasty Malt flavor, a little flat in texture. nice slight bitter hop aftertaste. nice.

On tap at the Oak Room in Athens.Clear copper with no head. A sour cherry aroma. Very sour. This batch may have been spoiled. Simply awful.

On tap at Oakroom for Ohio Brew Week.. almost no aroma but some hops and a hint of malt in the taste... average beer...

Sample at the brewpub: Clear copper color with a medium thin off-white head with steady dissipation except for an island in the middle. Rings of lacing througout the glass. Mildly malty nose. Light, clean body with an earthy malt character. Some hops are there too. The finish is round and sweet. Pretty average through and through.

draft - Dark amber color, almost no head, some lacing. The malty aroma is very light. The body is kind of thin and too bubbly. This mouthfeel seemed to be a common problem as I worked my way down the brewery sampler board. The beer description said "well hopped", which is in my opinion wrong. The hops are actually pretty light. It’s an okay beer but could be a lot better.

This draft brew from the brewery poured a unnoted head size of foamy finely sized mostly diminishing off-white colored bubbles that left behind a poor lacing. The body contained soft carbonation, was transparent and light brown in color. Its aroma contained notes of malty mild . Its mouth feel is initially tingly with a lingering slightly tingly bubbly palate. Its flavor contained mild malty mild caramel mild red notes. A below average brew.

Sampler draft at brewpub. Brown color with an average light brown head that diminished quickly but produced good lacing. Heavy caramel malt and small hop aroma. Light to medium body. good well balanced flavor with medium finish.
