North Coast Red Seal Ale is a copper ale with a nice light beige head. It has a clear, strong aroma of Cascade hops with a little malt to back it up. It is medium bodied and quite smooth. The taste is simple, well balanced and refreshing-- mostly pine and citrus. This tastes very Californian. Classic.

355 ml bottle. Hazy reddish orange colour, thick but quickly disappearing off-white head. Rich aroma of fruits and floral hops. Fruity, malty flavour and a long bitter hoppy finish. Medium-bodied and smooth. Very pleasant and refreshing.

Very beautiful red-brown beer with quite quicly to disappearing medium blond head. Aroma is extremely temptating and there are lot of fresh fruits. Flavour is balanced and not so fruitfull than aroma can promise. Flavour is strongly bitter but still there are enough of balancing sweetness and so the bitterness is not too dominating. Surprisingly quite oily palate. Red Seal Ale is sophisticate, fruitfull and strongly bitter beer which fruit-lovers cannot to be fascinated.

Smells great like all APAs. Clear reddish brown. Surprisingly Bitter-like in taste and the hops have both British and American qualities. Sort of a trans-atlantic hop cocktail. Pretty nice.
