COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Our brewmaster, Mats Ekholm, was inspired by the red brown granite of the Åland islands when he developed Stallhagen US Red Ale.

Before Prohibition, American Red Ale was a popular variation of the Irish Amber ale in the US. This top-yeast beer was made of domestic, American raw material. The ale is relatively light but clearly hopped with definite aromas of dried strawberries. The full bodied taste has notes of coffee with smokiness from roast coffee.

Pyrmir (1215) - Westra Aros, SWEDEN - MAR 7, 2013
On tap. Aroma with strong hop notes at first bit they disappeared pretty fast. Also caramel and some grain notes. Taste is balanced and rich, very nice. Caramel and grain notes balanced by a sharp but dominating hop bitterness. Nest I’ve had from Stallhagen.

Sweetish caramel start, bitterish finish. Fruity yeast notes. Fresh and smooth texture, medium body, good balance. Enjoyable, very drinkable beer.

tkrjukoff (3362) - SWEDEN - OCT 12, 2011
Tap @ The Oak Barrel, Helsinki Airport. Pours ruby dark amber with a creamy beige head leaving nice lace. Aroma is fresh, malty, fruity, slightly toasted and hoppy. Flavor is very nice; great deal of dark roasted malts, fruity, bitter, a bit sweet and caramel. Finishes with a great malty and bitter aftertaste. Love the big malty taste.

Quite regular amber ale, still very good and enjoyable. Quite light mouthfeel, well balanced anyway. Nice hoppiness.

TET (1097) - FINLAND - OCT 26, 2012
A beautiful, reddish brown beer with a long-lasting, big and beige head. Aroma of caramell, fruits, lemony and slightly wooden hoppyness, aroma is quite nice and aromatic. Taste is nutty and slightly toffeeish, medium strong hoppyness, that continues to long and wooden, dry aftertaste. Medium bodied, nicely smooth to drink. I got positive feeling from this beer, tastefull and enough of aromatic nuancees despite of wooden characters.

Bottled@Cosmic Comic Cafe, Turku. Reddish amber colour with a mediumsized creamy head. Aroma is fruity and floral hops along with some sweet malts. Flavour is a nice balance between malts and hops. Also has a quite nice big bitterness in the finish. Pleasantly balanced.
