LANDMARK INDIA RED ALE

Brewed for Syracuse’s Landmark Brewery, garnet-hued red ale/ IPA hybrid garners lingering floral hop bitterness for supplemental orange-peeled grapefruit pith souring and brisk pine needle bite. Stable spruced citrus tang encounters cardboard-tea midst, cigar ash niche and vegetal tribute but acidic astringency hampers rye twinge.

MOLSON EXPORT (RED) ALE

Spry, well carbonated, with snazzy bite, this primo red ale is Molson’s best bet. The right amount of red-fruited mineral-grained frontage, fermented yeast sweetness, and spice hop bitterness addict the senses with thirst quenching affirmation. Yet it seems so simple and uncomplicated in brewing approach. As subtle carbonation settles, polite creamy finish surfaces alongside surge of alcohol potency. An enigmatic winner.
