Red Bell Philadelphia Original Lager

Poured in glass. Has a nice bronze color. Medium thick head that is soon gone. Kind of a sweet smell to it, but not always (kind of different from bottle to bottle if you ask me). Bitter and hoppy front to the beer, but not really hoppy, then after that, the beer just goes down smoothly down me throat and I smile because the beer is a beer that is not too shabby.

THOGHTS: The aroma wasn’t unpleasant, but just hardly there. Not really much in the way of flavor either — it was a bit watered down. The best part of this beer was the carbonation bubbling up from the bottom in varying sizes. I could look at it all night, like a flute of champagne, but it wasn’t the kind of beer I wanted to savor so it was gone too soon. I just finished it as soon as possible so that I could move on to the next beer. A little run of the mill. TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a sparkling, light to medium yellow with a small whith head that mostly diminished and left fair lacing. The aroma was light to moderate rasted malt. The initial flavor was moderately sweet and bitter and sour, while the finish was moderately sweet, lightly to moderately bitter and sour with a short duration. The body was light to medium and dry and watery with a slightly metallic finish.

If you told me I was drinking another boring run of the mill amber ale, I would’ve believed you. This had nothing lager crisp about it. Caramel malts with a touch of bitter hops in the finish. Snore fest, medium to full body. Snore.

cloudy amber appearance, aroma wasn’t the best... after the first sip, this lager does get better however, very smooth.... just wanted to try something new
