Fine ruby-coppered ale with piney grapefruit-orange rind uprising given bright spruce-tipped hop pep and red apple-ripened peach-pear-nectarine tang. Red and purple grape esters also overlay wheat-cracked caramel malting. Compares to spicier Arcadia IPA and less sharp Fisherman’s Ale, only fruitier.

LEGACY HEDONISM ALE
NEWPORT STORM THUNDERHEAD IRISH RED
Circuitous cola-hazed moderate body with fizzy round-bubbled head and prolonged Cascade hop frisk goes beyond stylistic inclination. Delicate raisin, nutmeg and toffee illusions enhance toasted caramelized barleymalt efficiency to cocoa-buttered finish. Serve as subtle alternative to creamier barleywines. Located afresh chocolate-pecan finesse, earthen dried tobacco regress, cooked vegetable passivity and hemp oil residue while quaffing ’07 Spring Ale version.
RICKARD’S RED ALE
SCROOGE & MARLEY RED ALE
TROUT RIVER RAINBOW RED ALE
BELFAST BAY LOBSTER RED ALE
Aromatic fruity malt facade fades alongside floral hop seduction, allowing dominant honeyed oat astringency to temper dry tea snip, phenol mocha-nut saunter and rustic hay-horsehide-barnyard earthiness. Softening piney finish picks up arid pecan-almond-walnut hints, vegetal splurge, and dry firewood remnant.

NORTH COAST RUEDRICH’S RED SEAL ALE
Likable citric-hopped frothy-headed copper-hazed bitter gains caramel malt fortitude above quaint chocolate nuttiness and sweet stone fruiting. Advancing sunny orange tang awakens barleywine smidgen. Less crisp, clean, and organic than most Cali brews, bringing a more blue collar grain-based pilsner appeal to medium-bodied nicety.
