Third Coast Old Ale

An unclear red beer with a fine beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of roasted bread and yeast. The flavor is sweet and very hoppy both with aroma hops and bitter hops - which gives it a rather bitter finish. A great beer.

Re-rate, 2001 vintage sampled in February 2003. Deep ruby, pours thick with no head. Rich aroma of hoppy citrus, nuts and toffee. Sweet and syrup with very soft mouthfeel. Full bodied. Lingering grapefruity bitterness. Still after two yeasr this beer has a lot of potential to develope further.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of JCapriotti. Pours a hazy, dark, orangey golden with a yellowish head. Fat aroma of caramel and aroma hops. Quite full-bodied with notes of burned caramel. all-sorts and nuts. Very bitter finish. Solid. 080707

Slightly murky amber. Toffee, nuts, raisins and just plain rich malts in the aroma. Very rich and long flavour with big toffee notes and some strong alcoholic dryness. Bitterness clashes too much with the chewy maltiness.

Bottled. Cloudy orange brown coloured with an off white head. Sweet aroma of dried fruits, caramel and hops. Flavour of fruits, caramel, dried fruits and hops.
