Sockeye Freds Raging Red

Tap @ Brewery - Pretty malty and easy to drink. Smooth on the palate, with a refreshing bitterness in the finish.

On tap at Sockeye Pours our a nice amber with lots of red topped with a tan head. Aroma of a malty sweetness. tast of more of the malt and a nice bitterness. Not bad.

On tap at brewery. Pours a light amber red, light retention. Nose has some caramel and buttery malt blended with a fresh hop note. Fairly thin body almost mimicking what’s on the nose. Bits of fruit, like...plum are barely detectable. Not much of a finish. So-so.

On Tap at the brewpub. Clear mahogany color with a light tan head. A bit darker in both respects than I anticipated. Sweet malty aroma. Woody malty flavor with quite a bite. Plenty bitter but not exactly hoppy. Moderate body and so.ewhat astringent. Rather soft carbonation and plenty of late lingering bitters. Like a strong ESB maybe. Interesting.

Tap: Deep reddish amber with a large sandy head. Nice sticky lacing. Aroma is mild of hops and a little caramel malt. Flavor is decently hop-filled with a malty and sort of rye finish. Has a little dry floral feel to it as well. Nice and pleasant way to beat the summer heat.

Dark red color, fairly hazy and opaque, lots of off-white head and lacing. Nose is very hoppy and malty, notes of cookie dough, simcoe hops, figs. Tastes mildly bitter and fruity with plenty of hops for a lager. Very rich malty body. Melanoidin malts? Good harvest ale!
