Ripton Red

Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a dark ruddy burnt amber color with a finger’s worth of foamy white head that dissipates evenly. Extremely light messy lace.
The aroma had some caramel / toffee malts, light pine, some citrus, then some light breadiness.
The flavor brings all of the previously mentioned aromas to blend nicely. Light malty aftertaste, sly malty sweet finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionability about it. Good carbonation. Piney bitterness tries to grip with an even harshness on my tongue.
Overall, this was a decent amber ale that I could have again, preferably with food.

An amber ale with a thick frothy off white head. In aroma, sweet fruity malt with light cinnamon hearts, ok. In mouth, a sweet nutty malt with caramel notes, lightly roasted character, grassy hop, ok. On tap at brewery.

Dark golden. No nose. Harsh pine and bitter. Most of these so far just have a smooth mouthfeel and too much bitterness for the malt backbone

on tap-pours an off white head and amber color. Aroma is mild sweet medium malt. Taste is mild sweet medium malt/grain, some peat, some earthy hops.
