A bit disappointing at beertemple amsterdam. Felt oxidized and amateur-ish. I’d only try it again back in its home. Bt ams

I got this bottle in a trade with Grizzly Adams. Thanks Cole!
It pours a hazy red with a 1 finger head of foam that shrinks to a fine layer after a few minutes. It does have some good lacing.
The smell is very light. I just get some roasted malt, some hops, and a sweetish smell.
The taste has roasted/toasted malt and some hop bitterness up front with a slight sourness in the background. I like the way the roasted part of this Red Ale works, but the subsequent hoppy bitterness is a bit too grassy and I don't particularly like that sourness, all be it mild, peeking it's head out just before the finish. The finish itself is pretty roasty and that's ok with me. An interesting brew and I'm glad I got to try it but it falls short of some of the Reds I've had.
