Napa Ale Works All Malt Red Ale

Brewed by St. Stans Brewing Company
Style: Amber Ale
Modesto, California USA

nice amber color, with a small head that dissapears quickly. Not real hoppy but very tasty. A slight bit of sweetness and honey in the flavor. Very good and light.

Murky red in the glass with a head that vanishes quickly. Fairly hoppy, as befits an amber ale. Enough malt to balance things out. Bitter aftertaste. Typical quality West Coast micro that I wish we had on the East Coast, darnit!

I wonder about this beer.

Strong malty aroma. Hazy copper color. Virtually no head. Mild malt flavor - one dimensional with lingering sweet malt flavor. Because of strong aroma expected more flavor, somewhat disappointed.

If you like a good malt depth to the nose of your beer, this could be for you. Unfortunately, there is a thin-bodied, very hop deficient amber in the glass after the sniff. That being said, give it some props for rejecting the ’Hey, I’m an american amber, a relatively undefined style, so let’s just throw in a gigantic dose of hops for no reason’ attitude. Whoops, better as it warms.

Red brown color. Small head. Aroma is malty and slightly sweet. Medium bodied red ale. Malts are slightly sweet, and a touch nutty. Hops are kind of mild and slightly citrusy. It a touch thin, but it has enough flavor to make it drinkable. Mouthfeel is a little thin. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

Quickly dissapateing head and very little apparent carbonation. Nose is simarly to being on a brewery floor, tons of grain a,d bread. Kinda thin in the mouthfeel with a sharpness on the tounge, malt and bread are the prevailing flavors but fairly simple.

Iced tea with a touch of hops and caramel. Mildly sweet and soft palate with a clean finish.
