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.

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.
(RJ BRASSEURS) BELLE GUEULE ROUSSE
Spicy hops sit on front of tongue as toasted cereal grain indifference and sour orange murk drag down amber-hued red ale. Spongy nut finish fades quick.
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.
