Firehouse Red

Brewed by Firehouse Brewing Company (SD)
Style: Amber Ale
Rapid City, South Dakota USA

Surprise. I expected the Chukkar with its hop profile to be the most flavorful of this bland bunch, but this is actually good. Relatively bold caramel malt and a peppery hop nose that complements the malt well. Best of the bunch.

On tap at the brewpub. Not a bad bet if you’re stuck in Rapid City. Nice red appearance with an off-white head. Aroma is caramel and slightly floral hops, not much to it though. Flavor is caramel malt, mild hoppiness, and slight fruitiness. Pretty standard red ale palate, nothing special there.

On tap at brewpub. Deep orange color and clear. A lot of caramel with a bit of floral and perfumy hops. Mostly sweet, very sessionable.

Color is a fiery red which is perfect for its name. The beer was clear with decent carbonation. There was an obvious nitro head to the beer, which left a creamy head and smoothness to the beer. There was little smell with hints of a pale malt would be the closest thing to pick up. Firehouse Red tasted a sweet frothy flavor that was primarily fizzy and smooth malt. The frothiness overshadows the beer and limits the malt and hop flavors. There was a roasted feel to it and mixed with a rather light floral hop but no bitterness and very easy to drink. Firehouse Red did not seem to be a bigger beer. Very easy to drink and the locals enjoyed it as well.

On draught at the Firehouse brewpub in downtown Rapid City, South Dakota. Pours a clear coppery amber brew with a creamy off-white head that has a slow dissolve and good lacing. Aroma of semi-sweet caramel malt, a touch of flowery hops and a touch of sweet fruit. Taste is medium bodied, lightly carbonated with a sweet caramel malt and mild citrus/flowery hops character. Finish is creamy, smooth and malty with a slight mild bitter aftertaste.

Tap at firehouse. Nice bitter for a red ale. Nice biscuit malt flavot too. Very nice.

Draft at the brewery. Not bad. Very mild flavors of hops and sweet corn. Pretty good.

Nice amber color,no head to speak of.The armoa was caramely with a mildly sweet side sort of coming through and a decent hop presence.The flavor was pretty good nice malt side some fruit and hops with a decent hoppy finish that is slightly bitter but nicely done.Over all not bad makes me wish there was a place like this in my area so i didn’t have to drive so far.
