Ragtime Tavern Red Brick Ale

On tap at the Ragtime brewpub. Pours deep copper to brown with white head. The aroma has notes of crystal malts, roasted malts and a faint caramel sensation. The taste is modestly roasty with maybe crystal malts mixing with a dash of highly roasted maltiness. By midway a thin layer of vague hoppiness helps take this to the finish.

Tap @ brewpub. pours clear copper, thin white head. Aroma, light malt, some spices and pine hops. Flavor, fruity, light malts, some roasted and caramel elements. Bitter spicy hops with a thin watery finish.

Amber colour, no head. Caramel nose. Light, soft beer with a vague caramel accent. Standard stuff.

Clear copper. Not pulling much aroma except caramel. High carbonation. Nice flavors include decent level of caramel malt. Clean finish that is a little too sweet and too carbonated but at 4% makes a good, sessionable choice.

Sampled at the 2008 Folio Weekly Beer Festival in Jacksonville, FL. Draft. Pours a dark amber color with a light tan head. Aroma is a bit of malt and a touch of grass. Flavor is similar, it doesn’t follow the usual rules of an amber. Decent to drink, nonetheless.

From the tap poured amber with a fair amount of head. Nice flavor with a solid finish.

On tap at the brewpub. Dark amber with a tan head. Solid malt nose with a lightly nutty herbal hop note. Flavors follows the nose, and adds a bit of biscuit. Does not seem to really be an amber, but a pretty good brew whatever you call it.
