Serving Type: DraftABV: 5.7 percent
Appearance: Rock Bottom Red Ale looks the way you'd expect your typical Irish Red to look. It has a deep red garnet color in its body and features a powerful, white head that's about an inch and a half thick after initial pour. It dissipates at an average rate and leaves some excellent lacing. Very attractive.
Smell: This beer's aroma features plenty of caramel and toffee undertones. An even sweeter maltiness lies right behind those two dominant flavors.
Taste: The three flavors I picked up with my nose translated well onto the tongue. Those three flavors were pleasant, but I was surprised by the strong hop character of this beer.
Overall Rating:
I loved the maltiness, caramel and toffee elements to this beer, but I think the hop character was just too dominating. That might appeal to some of you out there, but I wished I would have been able to enjoy the initial three flavors more without the hop interference in this particular brew.
