Ragtime Tavern Red Brick Ale

Sampled at the 2008 Folio Weekly Beer Festival in Jacksonville, FL. Draft. Pours a dark amber color with a light tan head. Aroma is a bit of malt and a touch of grass. Flavor is similar, it doesn’t follow the usual rules of an amber. Decent to drink, nonetheless.

From the tap poured amber with a fair amount of head. Nice flavor with a solid finish.

On tap at the brewpub. Dark amber with a tan head. Solid malt nose with a lightly nutty herbal hop note. Flavors follows the nose, and adds a bit of biscuit. Does not seem to really be an amber, but a pretty good brew whatever you call it.

clear amber, fine beige head, bits of lace, light sweet caramel malt aroma with faint citrus hops, sweet caramel malt flavor, light citrus hops, touch of bitterness leaves a light long finish, not as nice as down the street at A1A or the brewfest back in 2003

Light malt aroma with a low citrus hop presence. Dark amber/brown in color with a tan head. Biscuit accented malt fore with a decent hop bitterness. Toasty and bready it comes off more as an English pale Ale then an amber ale.
