Downtown Reggae Red

Brewed by Downtown Brewing (formerly SLO Brewing Co)
Style: Amber Ale
San Luis Obispo, California USA

OK. I cut and pasted this part from my other ratings at SLO brewing: "Tried at the brewpub in downtown Paso Robles after a day of visiting wineries. Man, the wineries ROCK here. What an awesome day. What a better way to finish off the day than to sit down with a sampler platter of ice cold uber-crappy beer." On to the beer: Cloudy red amber color. Something off in the taste. Yuk. Kind of like sucking on a dishrag.

Draught at the Santa Barbara location. Deep red color with a small head. Toasty malt and caramel aroma with a hint of tea. Sweet toasty caramel malt flavors with crisp hops balancing the finish out. Light and crisp body. Nice, malty, and flavorful, though lacking and frills.
