Fruity, Flavourful, Sessionable. British and German malts team up with five Yakima Valley American hops to create a vibrant and fruity red ale. As lively and colourful as the people that brew it.

On tap at Kick. It pours a brown, lightly unclear body and a dense, finger-thick off-white head. The aroma is fruity and rather roasted, with some tropical fruits and toffee hints. Butterscotch. The flavor has the same toffee, butterscotch and roasted malts, with some fruityness. Medium to thin body, soft carbonation. Roasted, buttery and fruity finish with a faint bitterness. A decent beer, far from impressive. 130427

Tap. Nice peachy hop nose. Hazy amber, lacing offwhite head. Aromatic hops underlaid by a toasty earthy note, needs a tad more oomph in the middle . Somewhat light body, mellow mouthfeel. Apricot retronasal pleasant.

Medium, rather dense cream-coloured head over rather still metallic amber-copper beer. Superbly fruity USA-hops. Citrus, resin, exotic fruit. Bitter, but fast gone impression, only to return, much diminished and more metallic in the aftertaste. Meanwhilie, try to imagine utterly dry, totally non-sweet caramel. Finish shows some of the USA hops from the nose. Very empty MF. Even keeping in mind it only features 4%, compared to some other, recent low alcohols, this is watery. Nose is great. If only the rest followed in the same vein.

Bottle shared by Joes. Clear light amber red color, small white to off - white head. Smell malts, lightly hops, a bit flowery. Taste malts, blossom, grassy, a bit hoppy, decently bitter. Very nice beer.

Bottle: Deep golden to light amber coloured, smaller stable off-white foam, hazy, fruity-hoppy nose with a skunky touch; moderate bitter-sweet flavour, relatively dry and light bodied; lingering bitter-hoppy finish with that barnyardy touch again. Really not my personal favourite…

Bottle @ de Molen. Clear amber color, short head. Aroma of american hop, grapefruit, some pine, slight malty as well. Taste is a bit bitter and dry, quite thin and watery though. For 4% it’s ok and its very easy to drink, but it’s just a bit thin. --- Beer merged from original tick of Yakima Red on 09 Apr 2013 at 19:27 - Score: 7

Bottle at the De Molen second Tuesday tasting, April 2013. Poured a clear dark brown with a thin glass hugging head. The aroma is grassy and hoppy leading to a medium bitter flavour with lots of American hops. It’s a little metallic too , but the hops make up for that slightly negative qualities!

Dobre, choć nie rewelacyjne jak dla mnie i dla tego gatunku. Trochę mdławe i wyrznie chmielne, za malo slodowosci. Kolor takze jakby nie czerwony jak w nazwie, ale są to tylko odcienie w bursztybie. Piana za to fajna, ladna i trwala.

330ml bottle. Clear amber colour with small to average, frothy to creamy, half-way lasting, off-white head. Hoppy aroma has notes of pine, grapefruit and tangerine. Taste is bitter hoppy, cautious hints of grapefruit and pine. Nice one.
