COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Maybe you’re not in the mood for a raspberry flavored, low carb, ice, dry maltsicle, and you certainly aren’t in the mood for a Rotgutzen. You are, however, always in the mood for a Pinstripe. Brewed with caramel malts and Liberty hops, the Pinstripe has a slight fruity finish and dance.

KajII (710) - Macon, North Carolina, USA - DEC 26, 2012
12oz Bottle. The pour was a clear copper orange with some light peach highlights and an average (1-2 finger) off white frothy head that was mostly diminishing, reducing to a medium film and large collar and having fair spotty lacing. The aroma was of a light bread malt, grassy hops and a soapy yeast with notes of caramel and citrus (grapefruit). The taste was a lot like the aroma with a light bitter malty flavor with just a hint of caramel early on, progressing with a mild hoppiness and a light citrus presence towards the finish. The flavor lasted an average time after the swallow with a light citrus peel bitterness left behind. Mouthfeel was light in body with a watery, dry texture and a mild carbonation. Overall I found this brew to be a mildly hoppy and slightly fruity Red Ale with a very good drinkability...

An extremely clean beer. The nose is a little yeasty and I would prefer a little more coppery caramel to a beer that claims to be a red, but overall it is light and pleasant. I could drink this stuff all night, but only because it?s so palatable. This sweetness-lacking red leaves a little to be desired, but its alcohol is smooth and will having you forgetting about your day within a single bottle.

Had this at the Durango Applebee's...I know pretty sad. I went to the brewery; is just down the street, but they were closed (it's Sunday). This is a good red but can't say I know this style that well. It a pretty clear amber colored ale served out of a tap. It has a light hop and malt body, light bitterness and overall decent flavor. Nothing special but pretty good. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Marc18 (28) - NORTHERN IRELAND - MAY 11, 2013
A slightly sourer tastes than I was expecting, and more orangey than red. Entirely drinakble, with a medium body and lively carbonation. Quite a bitter, long, finish. Overall, average.

Hermod (2226) - Vantaa, FINLAND - MAY 4, 2013
355ml bottle. Poured dark amber, thin white head. Bready malty, molasses in aroma. Flavor has toasty, bready, light fruity. Watery and thin body. Forgettable.

EtTuCthulhu (459) - Columbia, Missouri, USA - APR 17, 2013
This beer’s color is orange, not red, and has a very small white head, and the aroma is subtle yet reminiscent of sugar cane and dough yeast. The taste is slightly sour and slightly sweet, but this isn’t prominent on your taste buds at all. In fact, the palate isn’t bold whatsoever because it combines a light body, soft carbonation, thin texture, and an abrupt finish.

Osprey87 (585) - London via, WALES - APR 12, 2013
Cold bottle. Orange red colour. Nauseating smell of vegetables and sweet malts. Tastes of water. Not an offensive taste, just a very very bland one. Poor beer.

SKA have better beers than this. Pours dark amber with a thin head. Malty aroma. A rather straightforward malty taste, not my cup of tea so didn’t finish the bottle.

Pours clear golden brown with not much head and flat carbonation. Nice caramel malt aroma but not much else, a bit watery. OK

Basic ale here. Had a bit of melon and marzipan quality. Not my favorite flavors.
