Southern Tier Big Red

Pours red with a thin pinkish head. Smells of sweet malt. Tastes of up front malt. Tihs is very one dimensional and boring.

Bottle, 9%. Weak caramelly aroma. Clear red amber colour. Very small white head. The flavour is quite caramelly, has some grassy hops, slightly biting. The aftertaste even has some caramel along with a good grassy hoppiness.

Amber color with a medium head. Aroma seems like a typical amber with a bit more sweetness. Flavor is honeyish with a classic amber/grainy thing going on. OK, but this seems like a basic amber or red ale with a bit more sugar - whats the point?

It is beautiful, red-golden and the head is huge and creamy. The aroma is hoppy, fruity with notes of malt and caramel. The flavour has a light sweetness and notes of malt, caramel, grapefruit and oranges. It is smooth/soft and yet dry with a light bitterness in the finish. It is very well balanced.

Bottle. Pours copper/red with little head. Aroma is hoppy, floral/eathy. Taste is hppy, has a little citrus but more bitterness and more earthty. Ends a bit malty, not too bitter. A nice ale.

22. Pours a crystal clear, dense-looking orangeish light amber. Dense, creamy tan head. Thick sedimentary sheets of lace coming down the side. Big doughy, bready, yeasty malt nose. Creamy, thick, sticky body. Biscuit, iced, tea, and brown bread mid-palate, with a long iced tea finish. Meh.

Bottled. The kast bottle of long day ... Clear deep red color, mostly vanishing head. Ryesih, barley, sugary nose. Ryeish malty, a bit sweet flavor (par to aroma): rye, caramel malts, toffee and late bitterness. Not bad beer, but not the worth of 18 euros I paid.

65cl bottle. Pours copper with a red hew and a creamy white head and lacings. Sweet malty caramel & hoppy nose. Floral and grapefruity hops. Very sweet. Crisp and sticky. Good!
