Orlando Brewing Right On Red

Brewed by Orlando Brewing
Style: Irish Ale
Orlando, Florida USA

On tap at the Florida Brewers Guild BeerFest 2009. This was not listed as their Right On Red and smell and tastes different too. Pours clear garnet with off white head. The aroma is hoppy with what smells like pine, maybe spicy hops . . . not sure, the hops are there but seem a bit vague. The hops are followed quickly by some solid roastiness. The taste is much the same with an initial hop pulse to go along with an adequate amount of roasty malts and some malt sweetness in the background. I get no sense of the organic wet cardboard off notes I usually taste and smell with these organic brews. All of the ingredients seem pretty fresh. Tasty beer.

Pours kind of deep copper leaning toward amber hues with moderate, somewhat lasting, off white head. The aroma is sweet, malty and mildly roasty. Overall a mild meek aroma. The taste is roasted 90L to 120L crystal malts and sort of gets watery about midway. Starts to taste and feel like unfermented lightly roasted wort. There is some vague hoppiness too working with the malts. Not too bad really considering the style.

Pours a reddish amber.Lots of hop aroma.Flavor is full of malt and grains.Had tastes of liquis Cheerios.Not bad.This is much different than their Right on Red.Definately not the same brew.

On tap at Rossis.This was a maroonish red beer that had a very malty taste.Reminded me of Killians.You can only get this on tap in 2 places in orlando.Good stuff with the pizza

On tap at the brewery. Pours a translucent ruby amber with a medium creamy/lacing white head. Aroma of fresh hops, toffee, caramel, floral notes and citrus. Flavor of hops, mixed citrus, caramel, toffee and fresh hops.

12oz bottle via trade with Degarth - Thanks Joe! - Pours transparent amber with a big offwhite head that lingers and laces pretty well.. Nose is mostly caramel malts and yeast and something kind of sour that I can’t identify. Flavor is quite malty. Caramel, frosted flakes cereal, bread, a little bit of brown sugar. Palate is smooth and fairly robust for a red ale. Nice and malty. A nice lingering sweet caramel and brown sugar aftertaste finishes this off nicely. Not bad at all. This didn’t taste like it was retired to me. No way to tell by looking at the bottle though.

On tap ,this was a regular irish ale with some hops and malts present but nothing overwhelming very smooth and fresh tasting.CHEERS!

This beer is way overcarbonated, I have 1.5 inches of beer and 5 inches of foam in my Duvel Tulip. The beer is a hazy, orange-amber color and is topped by the afore mentioned prodigious tan colored head. The aroma is a tad sharp and astringent with perhaps a hint of thin malt. The beer has a sweet maltiness to it up front that accentuates a fruitiness that is reminiscent of strawberries, plums, and a hint of cherry. The finish is a little astringent, and a little bitter. Overall this beer is pretty drinkable, it is most likely lightly infected, but if anything this is adding to the character of this beer. It tastes like a malty regular strength Belgian Ale.

Nice malt profile and even some subtle burnt brown sugar notes to give it some body and thickness. Not bad all in all if a little thin in body and overall taste.
