Three Skulls Cutthroat Red

Beautiful red beer with a slight head. Easy grainy flavor and decent mouthfeel. Restrained hops, but along with some tannic grainy notes, provides a good crisp drinking experience.

(Draft) Sampled at GCBF 2009 in Victoria on September 10, 2009. Tart hops followed by irish maltiness. Good. 6/3/6/3/12

Great Canadian Beer Festival – 2009 – Victoria BC
Nice red ale with lots of hops and a good mix of malts. Lively beer this was with spice and a light bitterness in the finish.

pours a semi-clear copper-red with a small off-white head, and okay lacing. smell of spice, roasted malt, and caramel. taste is of caramel, brown sugar, a little fruit, and spice, ends on the dry side with slight amount of bitterness.

Tap at Brouwers. Aroma of toasted malts, toffee, juicy fruit, some caramel sweetness. Pours dark red with a thin head. Sweet malty flavors of caramel, toast, toffee, and some juicy fruits all combined with a moderately spicy hop finish. Very nicely done, very drinkable.

On tap at Naked City. Pours red with a decent off-white head. Aroma is a combination of fruity hops and sweet malt. Sweet fruit and bread in the taste, dominated by malt, even in the finish, which has a slight hoppiness.

Bready stale malt backbone with metallic hints. Very soapy from at first that fades a bit as it warms but still very pronounced. Lightly sweet with a crisp bite. Very pedestrian- nothing interesting at all in this drink.

Beautiful red beer with a slight head. Easy grainy flavor and decent mouthfeel. Restrained hops, but along with some tannic grainy notes, provides a good balance to the moderate natural barley sweetness of the brew. Pleasant enough, but pretty ordinary stuff.
