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.

On tap at Redpoint, pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma is fairly subdued, with piney hops, some earthy notes, and toasted biscuity malt. Flavour is a little more pronounced, but not much, with light piney hops. There's not much to this. Very subtle and underwhelming. Meh.

On tap at Redpoint, pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma brings out piney hops, some earthy notes, and crisp biscuity malt - seems rather bitter. Flavour has some mild butter going on, with light piney hops and biscuity malt. As Alex says, I'm a social justice warrior when it comes to even noticing minor butter, so this offends me. Needs cleaning up.

On tap at Redpoint, pours a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out straw and biscuity malt - pretty neutral. Flavour is clean and bland, with biscuity malt. Not a whole lot happening here. Meh.

On tap at 23 Public Craft Beer, pours a clear yellowish blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out mango, vanilla and subtle hops. Flavour is loaded with vanilla and mango, with biscuity notes. This is actually pretty pleasant.

On tap at B2 Craft Beer Cafe, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out orange zest and a touch of coriander. Flavour is fairly laid back, with light orange peel, some coriander and crisp biscuity malt. Competently brewed, just nothing overly interesting.

Tap at BeerFest Asia XI Edition, Singapore. Poured a murky medium amber colour with a bubbly round white head. The aroma is grainy, gluey malt. The flavour is moderate bitter, light sweet, with a crisp, sweet malt, mineral, light hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Malty and the hops tasted stale. Nothing special. Could not finish the bottle sadly even though the artwork was impressive.
