Thomas Creek River Falls Red Ale

12oz bottle. Pours clear amber with a thin beige head. Grainy malt aroma wtih corn and a touch of crisp hop. Tastes of grainy malt, creamed corn (blech!) and crisp hop.

Pours with a very light carbonation, and weak head. Singularly malty nose with some simple bitterness. The palate has a mellow grain sweetness and a clipped watery finish. Not a bad beer. But, not worth seeking. Should work well with hotdogs and brewery tours. 83

12oz bottle from durhambeer - thanks, Bob! Hazy amber pour, with a moderate head and prickly carbonation. Body is decent, with enough to sustain the relatively indistinct character. Faint yeasty tang amidst the caramel malts, not much of a hop presence to the beer. Pretty bland.

Bottle pours orange/amber color with off white head. Medium mouthfeel. Aroma is pretty much not there. Flavor is sweet and is not impressive at. Below average beer.

From a 12 oz bottle purchased at A.W. Shucks Oyster Bar in Charleston SC this Ale poured an amber color with a very thin head and minimal lacing. Aroma of some fruit, sweetness, caramel and malt. Malty flavor along with caramel and faint hops. Moderate sweetness and carbonation. Average Red Ale.

From tronraner via trade. The pour was dark copper in color with a short lived white head. Minimal lacing. The initial aroma was tart citrus and some strawberry. Toasted caramel malts came out as it opened up. The flavor had a bit of thin citrus overrun by a hefty dose of toasted malt and caramel sweetness. Thin body.

bottle thanks to bu11zeye. light amber pour with a white head. caramelly hops and light malts. nice flavor of caramel backed with thick malts.

Bottle at Beer Bourbon and BBQ Festival in Richmond VA on 5-30-09. Called Thomas Creek Red Ale. Soft amber pour. Nose is grainy with toasted malt and light caramel. Taste is big caramel, soft earthy hops, grains, and sweet malt. Body is light-medium and rather creamy on the tongue. Ends with more caramel, grains, sweet, toasted malt, and light fruit notes.
