Fort Collins Retro Red

Brewed by Fort Collins Brewery
Style: Amber Ale
Fort Collins, Colorado USA

Poured from 12 oz bottle, a deep amber, light brown foamy head. Aroma of some hops, malts and the like. Flavour was of a typical amber beer, nothing special here other than an easy drinking brew. Rather boring and unremarkable. Spend your hard earn green on something else.

12 oz bottle. amber, small head that quickly disappears. different taste at first sip, the hops and sweetness mixing well, with a nice hoppy finish

Smells strongly of dark chocolate roasted malts. Thick and chocolately, a little sweet. Tasty

tap at the brewpub - Pours red (duh) with a thin, light tan head. It has an aroma that’s mostly lightly roasted caramel malt. The flavor is mainly caramel malt as well though it has a decent hops bite. Still, the commercial description saying this is their "hoppiest specialty ale" is kind of puzzling. The hops isn’t strong. Anyway, it’s a very straightforward red and quite quaffable.

Bottle. Dark red body, not much nose, tan head. Malty, moderately sweet, some hop character. Drinkable.

Bottle from Total Wine. Pours out a dark red color with a thick brownish colored head on it. Smell is full of malts and perhaps even a slight touch of coffee. I did like the smell alot. Taste was smooth and easy to drink, very rich and sweet but not overly sweet. Something I would drink again, this would go over nice with people who don’t really like good beer yet.

This poured a nice amber red color with almost no head. Aroma is sweet with some roasted malt. Thin body. More bitter than most ambers I’ve tried. Nice hop bitterness. Caramel notes. Finished with a thin watery and metallic taste.

dark amber in color with a head that disappears quickly. Light hop aroma. Average body to the palate. Tastes of hops with a hint of malt. Slightly bitter after taste.
