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.

SEBAGO RUNABOUT RED ALE

Warbled dark amber-clouded dry body lacks highly hopped sharp-fruited nature of archetypal red ale, depending instead on chestnut-roasted barleymalt scheme, sweet tobacco leaf crisping, honeyed pecan passage and dismal vegetal conflux to its toasted cereal grain spine. Flustered grape-skinned orange-tangerine-apple fruiting picks up tropical pineapple-mango-grapefruit succor but offensive phenol acridity, aspirin-like astringency and cardboard-like finish deaden impact.
