Commercial Description:
Crystal malt gives this medium bodied ale its pleasant and refreshing flavor. Cluster and Willamette hops are introduced at various times during the brewing process to provide bitterness and aroma.

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.

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.
