The Red Ale is set to alter the Namibian beer landscape forever. Malty and hoppy in character, the American inspired beer is the master brew of accomplished World Beer medalilist, Marty Velas. Hopped with an aroma hops originating from Oregon in the United States of America, this 100% malty amber ale is rich in flavour and aroma.

Deep hazy amber color, steady beige head. Caramel, crystal malty sweetness in the nose, Slightly sour, berryish, lots of cardboard. Gone old? All of these Camelthorns I’ve had, have been quite weird.

Hazy dark amber color. There is some quite nice hop aroma, with the caramel. The body is light, with some caramel flavor, and very dry mouthfeel; missing some better hopping here.

Bottle @ Miss January / AA Meeting Afterparty Tasting, March 2012. Pours dark unclear amber with a small creamy head. Yeast, rubber, caramel and dust. A bit of hops. Homebrewer feel. Not entirely bad though.

300ml Bottle (Thanks Omhper) - Copper red with a slight haze. Fruit, malt and some hoppy and citrus notes in the aroma. Tangy, hoppy and slightly fruity taste with notes of grapefruit, toffee and raisins. Nicely balanced and whilst the American influence is undeniable, it very much reminds me of many British beers I’ve had that have been brewed using American hop varieties.
