Dunedin Red Head Red Ale

Brewed by Dunedin Brewery
Style: Amber Ale
Dunedin, Florida USA

copperish color w/ a huge fluffy soapy head w/ lots of visable carbonation. Sour fugel maybe hop aroma some spice i guess. Pal is fizzy water. Flavor is oddly tart lightly fruity some metalic notes a tch of sweetness in the finish... no thank you.

Bottle: Poured a hazy orange amber with thick creamy off white head. Sour hoppy malt aroma. Bitter metallic spice malt with a hoppy dry finish.

Pint courtesy of Degarth! Thanks! Pours an amber, with a Huge bubbly beige head. Big Bubbles seem to be quite common with the brewery. I smell hops, and thats pretty much it. Highly carbonated, not very enjoyable, but drinkable.

Another massively carbonated brew from Dunedin, at least this one did not gush until after I got it in my glass. I got about two-fingers of lightly hazy, reddish colored beer in my glass before the rest filled with gushing, frothy, pale tan colored head. The aroma has a light butter-scotch note to it that adds quite a bit of sweetness to the aromatics. Underneath this is a touch of lemon character, a touch of mustiness and a toasty malt like note that creeps in towards the very end.

This beer has a fair amount of fruity sweetness to it up front; a combination of malt sugars, a touch of caramel, and a berry like fruit character. Immediately following this is a buttery note of diacetyl, that really only becomes noticeable as the beer is leaving my mouth, but does linger on quite a bit in the finish. This is certainly not a diacetyl bomb, at least compared to some I have had, but it dominates the finish and ultimately the experience of this beer (it likely would not be noticeable to those not sensitive to diacetyl). Up front I really like the soft, lightly sweet, berry note. If the diacetyl was reigned in this could become a nice, introductory amber ale.

Definetly a HUGE head/foam on this one...slightly cloudy and copper-colored. The aroma is ever-so-slightly hoppy, but also it is filled with a metallic funk, mixed with a mustiness. What is wrong with this beer? Why is it so strangely tart for an amber? I’m not sure if this is how it was intended, but indeed, it is quite tart, sour. Some apples in the finish. Eh.

Bottle from santa - the bottle poured 50% foam - cloudy copper with lots of suspended particles - aroma of crystal malt, bread yeast, damp/earthiness - very subdued malts in this one, making it a bit thin on the palate - light biscuit/bread and some herbs - not a lot going on - pretty watery throughout, especially the finish.

Crickey, these brews were hard to drink. They mean well but they fall short on these some how.The nose and tastes just are totally muddled. It does taste like beer but just not something that has definition. Sorry.

Bottle from Degarth. Pours copper with a well retained off white head. Smells metallic with some grassy elements. Taste is of citrus and crisp but no discernable malt profile to speak of. Refreshing sessionable finish.
