Thomas Creek River Falls Red Ale

Brewed by Thomas Creek Brewery
Style: Irish Ale
Greenville, South Carolina USA

Sampled at the 12th Annual Knoxville Brewer’s Jam. Light amber with almost no head. Sweet amber malts, light nuttiness, biscuits, and caramel. Some piney hops. A simple red ale.

Draft sample from Brewgrass. Reddish amber. Small off-white head. Malty, caramel; some metallic notes. Biscuity and grainy. A bit nutty. Thin. Average.

A pleasent change. Poured with a nice white head, but not nearly red, more a light copper. Really good mouth feel with good malty caramel flavor that is refreshing. Just a touch of hops.

Had this while on Hilton Head Island. It was a very pleasant and refreshing ale. Pours with a small fluffy head that leaves some nice lace, has a good aroma of caramel and plenty of floral hops. Generally the beer is tasty well hopped but well balanced by a biscuty malt. Not to bad if you can find it.

Not very good. Caramel malty flavor, but with a rye bread taste similar to some of their other beers. Grainy and strange tasting. Could have used some more hops or anything to mix with the rye bread taste.

Pours a orange amber color. Aroma was mainly malt and light dark fruit mixed with caramel The taste was the same. Not bad but pretty simple.

Amberish orange in color with a decent head. Malty sweet, grapes, and other fruits are in the aromas. Taste is much the same as the smell. Medium body. Better than I expected.

Color is a nice cloudy golden amber. Aroma is rich and malty, rather jazzy and lively. Flavor is very much like the aroma - mostly malty, with a hint of hop bitterness, plenty of zing and sass. This is a satisfying ale, not spectacular but definitely a delight.
