Sacramento Red Horse Ale

Formerly brewed at Sacramento Brewing Company
Style: Amber Ale
Sacramento, California USA

Hoppy aroma with some nuts. Nice red/amber color with small head and no lacing. Red popsicle fruitiness interwoven with mild hoppiness and slight hop zing on the finish. Slightly watery mouthfeel. This is another nice west coast hoppy red. Thanks to Flipbrewer for te sample.

Multiple samples at OBF; this was my favorite of the fest. Dark amber with good head. Doesn’t blow you away w/ hops, but pure citrus and pine comes through beautifully. Very mild bitterness while still giving me the hops I so love. Don’t get the low ratings on this one, but whatever. I’d take a keg of this at home.

Great Beer! This is the best beer I have tasted, and I am not a beer drinker.

West Coast amber, nice piney/funky earthy nose with a medium amber body. Medium bitterness. A touch of sulfur along with a fruity ester play well with the hop character.

A flagship beer?, i like their hefe much better, but good non the less. Crisp and clean and the dry hopping adds much to its flavor.

Gains points for being named after Air Force RED HORSE units. Little aroma and candy red color. Hoppiness! Very dry. Stark. For the hop heads.

~Pours a dark amber colour with a thick and creamy off white head. Nice lacing ~Nice scent of hops and maybe a touch of caramel malts. ~ Taste like an IPA but not as bitter. Very smooth hop flavor. Definetly a taste of sweetness at first but is quicky dominated by the hops. ~ This is a very enjoyable beer. Would love to purchase again.

Found this pleasant surprise at Trader Joe's. Dark brownish-amber, smallish head, malty sweet aroma. Very nice malt character, sweet with some citrus notes. Excellent balance, finishes with a dry bitterness. Very enjoyable, on my way back to see if they have some more!
