ReaperAle Redemption Red Ale

Brewed by Sudwerk Privatbrauerei Hubsch
Style: Amber Ale
Davis, California USA

After watching the Vikings beat the Packers today needed a little redemption because I’ll take a lot of crap when I return to work Monday night. Good malty aroma. Brown in color with an average head that diappated. Tasted a chocolate flavor. Wnet down smooth enough seeing I’m not really acclimated to downing some dark beers yet. Good beer. Re Rate: Had an aroma of pine. Dark red body with off white head that disiapated to a thin layer on top of beer. Good lacing left on glass. Got a hoppy flavor with a citrus grapefriuit flavor also. Refreshing cold beer. Man looks like my first rating was off or palate is differnt.

22 oz bottle: pours a dark brownish red. with a offwhite head. aroma is sweet and malty. toasted and woody. the flavor is very malty and toasty, with hints of whiskey, oak, caramel. a little spicey and floral.

Pours a reddish brown with good head. Malty, caramel flavor that is quite smooth. Doesn’t do much for me.

On tap. Indian clay/brown hue. Malty, roasted flavor with a decent hop bitterness at the end. Drinkable. Thin, watery palate somewhat masked by the malts. Butterscotch. So ridiculously better fresh it’s almost a different beer.

Brown. Wonderful, enticing aroma of butterscotch, caramel, sweet juicy fruits, spicy hop and a touch of vanilla. Then, suddenly, upon tasting, the beer just isn’t quite up to par. It isn’t offensive but it certainly isn’t enjoyable. A bit sweet. Caramel and biscuit-like malt combine with piney, herbal and fruity malt flavor. Watery texture. Not very good, but a lovely aroma.

22oz bomber: This poured a reddish-amber color. There was a huge off-white head to it. Suprisingly little to no lacing for a head that size. Very mild aroma. Not offensive at all, just weak. With a good snort I get some caramel sweetness and a lot of air. The taste is just plain average. Nothing special, but not anything to go out of your way for. I’d choose it over a Macro, but not much else.

This poured out a clear amber reddish body with a slight beige head that left some lace as it was drank. Aroma was weak with sweet fruity smells and a light hoppiness. The taste was pretty much sweet malt and overall weak like the smell. Body was light to light medium with nothing interesting going on. Not something I would get again with so many good beers out there.

Coppery reddish color with a light tan head. Tasted somewhat tangy with a hint of the skunk. Looked alot better than it went down, I was a bit disappointed.
