Ninkasi Believer Double Red

Brewed by Ninkasi Brewing Company
Style: American Strong Ale
Eugene, Oregon USA

tart fruits. hard to get past the tartness. dryish hoppy finish. complex enough to keep your interest. A good example of a red, if on the hoppy side.

22oz bottle via hagen. Pours a dark copper with a chunky beige head. Nose is toasted malts and citrus hops. Taste starts bittersweet and ends bittersweet, in between there are a LOT of flavors. Caramel, molasses, buttered biscuits, orange, grapefruit and even some pine that carries into the aftertaste. This is quite hoppy for a red ale and almost has some rye-like qualities, has a good strong malt backbone. Almost reminds me of a good black IPA. This is unique and very well thought out recipe, executed perfectly!

(draft). Clear amber color. Medium off white head. Light pine aroma. Light malt and pine flavors. Avg duration. Light bitter finish. Thin texture. Soft carbonation. Fair lacing.

This smells absolutely incredible. Sweet molasses with fruit, similar to a barleywine. Dark red-brown color. Flavor starts out malty, a little sweet, but with a hop that continuously grows to the finish.

Brewed and dedicated to the believers of Ninkasi. Rich dark malt complexity is balanced by a plentiful hop presence bringing together perfection in every sip. Who knew believing had so many rewards.

Dark brown golden color on the pour. Slight sweet aroma compliments the hops. Flavorful sip full of hops and bitter finish.

Bottle. Dark brown/orange pour with very little carbonation. Aroma was sweet caramelly malts and some nice hops. Flavor was tin/copper and burnt sugar while finishing with a little hop bite. Ok beer, but was really hoping for something more out of this one.

Pours a deep red with a frothy off white head, Big hops on the nose, a bit of caramel, and possibly black berries? Lots of flavor of roasted malts and a slight bitterness. Tasty.
