Commercial Description:
From a true "city of neighborhoods" we offer our take on a "biere de mars, " or a ruddy farmhouse ale. In true Philadelphia fashion, European and American ingredients are melded into a complex, ruby ale with flavors of toasted malt and rye. It's the perfect accompaniment for some quality time enjoyed in the backyard (or on the front stoop) of your urban farmhouse.

Cheers to the burgoening efforts of Philly brewers to include one of my favorite ingredients for beer - rye. The mixtre of barley and rye gives this red ale is a nice mellow taste, but taking nothing away from the sbready, somehwat strong but subtle flavors. A true session beer....one of my favorites from the PBC.

Pours a mostly translucent copper/amber with golden notes and a medium creamy/bubbly off white head that left spotty lacing. Aroma of citrus, rye, toasted malt, spicy yeast esters, nuts and some caramel. Flavor of rye bread, spicy yeast esters, peppery, citrus, toasted malts, nice and dry, fruity, rye and other grains.

Pours a reddish copper color with small head. Aroma of malts, rye, pine and a hint of hops. Flavor was caramel malts, rye, brown sugar, and a nice hop bite at the end. Somewhat chewy with a light carboonation. Solid session beer and a nicely done red ale.

Bottle. Deep copper pour with 3-finger off-white head. Nose is caramel malt, vinous fruit, some citrus and hops. Tastes caramel malty, with brown sugar, fig, and heavy vinous fruit notes. Fairly rich and creamy palate. Solid.

The rye in Rowhouse Red blends well with the malts. Worked for a session beer, but had more flavor than your typical ’Red Ale’. I hope this beer will catch on for Philadelphia Brewing Company.

Bottle, pours a beautiful red with a nice head. The appearance is what I liked most about the beer. Aroma lightly sweet but not entirely noticable. The beer starts of well initially with the makings of a great beer, then it leaves a dull earthy aftertaste.

Aroma had more of a malty character than I had anticipated. Much the same in flavor as well. Quick finish with little in the way of anything lingering. I wouldn’t turn down a free one but I’m not buying a case of it.
