Red Brick Ale

Brewed by Atlanta Brewing Company
Style: Brown Ale
Atlanta, Georgia USA

Reddish amber body topped by a foamy two finger head made this a decent looking beer. The lacing was well spread out along the sides of the pint glass. The aroma was mildly nutty and malty. The taste was soft, sweet, and evocative of apples, pears, and oranges. The mouthfeel was soothing, and a hint of smoky roastiness could be detected in the aftertaste. Easy to drink, and not dumbed down, for some reason I had never sampled this local staple until now. The loss was all mine.

Brown/light ruby color, good calrity. Smell cocoa, coffee, dry nuts, mint, biscuit. Taste: chocolate, toast, dry nuts, coffee. Finish toasty and nutty. Not a brown ale at all, but I enjoyed the malt interplay and it was very clean tasting. I liked it.

dark amber/copper brew.Nose is heavy with yeast and malts.Taste is not brown ale like at all,kind of has a dash of bitterness at the end.Not bad.

Courtesy of Goldtwins. Deep red color and a thick head. Bready aroma. Tastes a little of barley, but not much. I would never have guessed that it was a brown ale. Decent showing.

Aroma of biscuit, toast, malt. Appears a deep reddish-orange with crystal clarity and modest effervescence of largish bubbles. Creamy off-white head composed of largish bubbles and leaving good lacing. Flavor is lightly sweet at the start, a bit roasty in the middle, and bitter at the finish, but it maintains an underlying sweetness all the way through. Palate is well-balanced, moderate, and appropriate for the beer. This beer is an easy, and fast, drinker. I wouldn’t mind having a keg on tap as a thirstquencher. Overall, this beer is equal to the sum of its parts. Thanks to TheCellarMan2 for providing it.

Copper coloring. Thick, bubbly head, most likely larger than usual from the way my .5 L boot glass amplifies beer heads. Smells nutty, malty and sweet. Nice and smooth with a woodsy taste. Thanks to goldtwins for the bottle!

Poured a brown color with a reddish tint. Thin off white head. Aroma and flavors are malty and smokey. Mild tart flavor in the background. Light to medium body.

Pours reddish-brown with a thin tan head. Nutty, malty, and slightly smokey aroma. Flavors much of the same. A little thin, and not very true to style. But, I think I like this better than most raters.
