Rodeo Red from Big Ridge Brewing Co.
15 years ago
6.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Draught at the brewpub
Dark amber color; small creamy head. Light aroma of caramel and roasted malt. The roasted malt and caramel flavor is quite nice, with a light biscuity touch, followed by hops that are a bit aromatic and fruity. The final is just a tad more roasty and ashy. Overall a dry but fairly good beer.

Old Sullivan Porter from Big Ridge Brewing Co.

6.9/10 — Appearance 10 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Draught at the brewpub
Dark amber-brown color, with a persistent creamy head. Aroma of dark, roasted malts, light bread. Smooth mouthfeel in the front, with a good roasted malt and dark chocolate flavor, getting drier to the end, more ashy, more toasty; there are light hop qualities, but they are hidden by the dark malts. The dryness of the final is also a bit metallic. Quite tasty overall.

Draught at the brewpub
Blond color. Compared to the regular Lager, this one is drier but also a bit smelly (feet). The bitterness is quite strong, with very light aromatic components. It’s a better match for food than the Lager because of the bitterness, but it’s not a better beer.

Harvest Lager from Big Ridge Brewing Co.

Blond color. Although not offensive, the aroma is mild, the flavor is sweetish for a Lager, and overall it’s quite weak. Very common.

Spiced Belgian Ale from Big Ridge Brewing Co.

4.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 2 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 5
Has a very vague spice aroma. Appearance is a soft amber body with okay head. Flavour is an odd mix of malt and coriander, and also some lemon or pumpkin in there. Dry finish. It’s drinkable, but only barely.

Old Sullivan Porter from Big Ridge Brewing Co.

5.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 4 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 5.5
Aroma is okay roasted barley with nothing else on the nose, and none of that barley is turning into other fancy flavours you might reasonably expect from roasted barley. Has modest head, and a dark amber-black body. Flavour is barley, roasted; imagine that! It’s drinkable but missing some serious mastery.

Clover IPA from Big Ridge Brewing Co.

5.5/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 5 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6
Has plenty of hops on the nose but nothing else. Has an okay light brown body with minimal head. Flavour is very hoppy with just a hint of citrus. Bready finish. Like all Big Ridge stuff, it’s reasonably well crafted but hardly a standout.

Rodeo Red from Big Ridge Brewing Co.

5.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 4 Flavor 7 Texture 4 Overall 5.5
Has a soft malt aroma. Appearance is a nice brown-amber body, very clear, with decent head. Flavour is slight malts but very hoppy, much more IPA-ish than a regular red or amber beer. Medium finish. It’s a bit mislabelled, but certainly drinkable.

Chimney Hill Wheat from Big Ridge Brewing Co.

4.4/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 2 Flavor 6 Texture 4 Overall 5.5
Has no aroma to speak of. Appearance is foggy yellow with no real head. Flavour is decent lemon and wheat with only a little hint of fake detergent. Soft palate. It’s okay, just okay; it’s reliable without any bells or whistles.

Harvest Lager from Big Ridge Brewing Co.

5.1/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 4 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 5.5
Aroma is faint fruity malts, body is an okay clear gold with little head. Flavour is okay grain notes, with a slightly bitter, fruity, and dry finish. It’s not a bad lager; simple reliable, but hard to pick out of a crowd.
