Description
Redpoint: Rock climbing terminology. To practice a climb to perfection. Success derived from perseverance.

Redpoint Brewing Company was founded by Doug Pierce and Spencer Jemelka, two American brewers who have been living in Taiwan and Asia for over a combined 20 years. We felt the Taiwan drinking population deserved a freshly brewed, American style craft beer choice. Our mission is to bring American beer culture to Asia and brew American style, high quality, fresh craft beer.

As Asia starts to embrace and love a greater variety of beer styles, Redpoint will lead this beer revolution as the first American Craft Brewery in Taiwan.

Medium, rather stable, somewhat creamy head over faintly veiled amberish-golden beer. Exotic fruit, C-hops, hopoils, very lightly oxydized. Bitter, cardboard, light citrus. Dry, almost wry ending. Less fruity than the onset. Dry, in feel as well, medium carbonation. Decent. Txs to Joren for bringing!
