Beermanns Rip Roarin Red Ale

Brewed by Beermanns Beerwerks Brewery
Style: Amber Ale
Lincoln, California USA

Pours a dark ruby red color. Aroma is fruity, malty and hoppy. Flavor starts of hoppy with a little bit of maltiness. Also has a roasted fruity sort of flavor going on. Not bad.

Bronze with a tannish head and lacing is just ok. Malt aromas. Some metallic notes. Citrus and alcohol with some pine. Nice blend of malts in the flavors. Citrus hops. Caramel and other sweet malts. Piney and earthy hops as well. Spicy and sweet.

Amber bronze. Hopps with notes of caramel malts in the nose. The flavor is balanced with a weight towards dry hops & spices. Finishes balanced, creamy, very nice malt focus.

Clear copper body with medium beige head. Aroma is medium sweet, caramel, chocolate, some earthy, nutty. Taste is medium sweet, caramel, chocolate, nutty, finishes with some earthy and grapefruit along with chocolate. Light-medium body. This would make a nice "transition beer."

Failr good regular amber, the hops are there. Rich and solid bodied, flavors of light wood and some caramel/pine hops with a roasted nut quality. Thanks to beerguy101 for the bottle.

Great color of ripe cherry’s with a nice warm glow and a fine creamy head. Good complex nose of red fruits,fine spices,colheita port,selfmade fruitcakes,pepper and fine malts. This beer has a complex taste with a good freshness and a fine dosis of fresh ripe red fruits,soft spices,malts,frosty’s,and nobel hops. It has a good body and fine malty taste with a good freshness of red fruits. In the afthertaste there is a fine accent of fine hops.

Ruby colored brew with a decent head. Very nice nose which fortells the excellent balance. Good malty backbone with excellent bitterness. Not over done, just right.

Appearance: fully red color, bright and a little dark, with an impressive head, towering in scope and size, tall and fluffy, creamy, lacey. Aroma: Sweet, fruity (vinous, perhaps), spicy, peppery, nutty, big with the maltiness, and showing it’s slightly above-average alcoholic strength. Feels richly roasted, even burnt, without even tasting it. Toasty . Nice hops up on top, and a thick, lush, cherry-ish mouthfeel, sweet and fruity, again. All of the flavors detected in the nose return in the flavor, and it’s a welcome arrival on the ’buds. Very thick, very full, very tasty. Assertively chewy texture, tangy, fruity, wonderful. Long, fruity, hoppy finish, sweet, seductive. I can’t think of a bad thing to say about this beer, no matter how hard you twist my arm. My notes from the first bottle consumed say: "Feels a little thin near the end, but loses none of it’s special charm." Well into sample #2, I don’t know what the hell I was talking about, and all charms shine ...well, no, now I get it, yep, it does fade a touch, but it’s still a great tasting brew. Warm, cheery, substantial.
