Crescent City Red Stallion

Brewed by Crescent City Brewery
Style: Vienna
New Orleans, Louisiana USA

(On tap) Beautiful, clear amber with a small, off-white head. Very limited aroma - perhaps with a faint touch of caramel. Medium body with an immediate moldy touch, which fortunately vanishes rather quickly leaving a marked bitter hoppy finish - and nothing much else really. Unusually hoppy for a Vienna. 270306

on tap-pours a thin white head and yellow/gold color. Aroma is sweet grain, light hops. Taste is sweet grain/light malt, secondary light /copper hops.

Draft... Sparkling clear, amber lager with orange highlights and a large, frothy, white head. Malty aroma. A touch floral with notes of milk chocolate and toasted nuts. Decent malt backbone. A touch metallic and just a bit too harshly bittered. There are some very light chocolate and grapefruit and orange rind notes in the flavor. Medium-bodied and silky with lively carbonation. Lengthy, bitter finish.

Some hop bitterness…Some caramel malt…Nothing much stands out…

Pours a hazy amber with a thin white head. Smells of caramel. Tastes earthy and lightly toasty with a thin earthy finish.

Clear amber with a lofty, lasting head. Slightly watery, though malt flavor/texture tries hard to keep it real. Slightly tart nip in the finish with a lingering bitterness in the aftertaste. Overall, not offensive, but lacking a lot.

Clear slightly-orange amber with a moderate off-white head. Musty mildew tainted aroma eclipses the faint caramel, offputting. Fairly unremarkable crystal malt palate, but overshadowed by the mildew taint. This was the same problem with the black forest. I politely pointed this out to the serving staff, and asked how often the lines were cleaned-- she didn’t know. Disappointing.

Glowing light orange-amber. Toasty malt aroma over raisins. Grassy, green potatoes, seedy oktoberfest flavor. Lightly sweet and nutty. Finishes medium quick and lightly bitter and vegetable.. Session weight.
