Mosaic hops lend to this light and fruity ale with a good bitterness and malt balance, coupled with refreshing hops aromatics. Red Racer India Session Ale is big on flavour, yet light in alcohol.

Express review time!

L: Golden straw-like color, very slightly cloudy, and my can’s pour gave it a big frothy head to it. Nice.

S: Grapefruit. :)

T: It was refreshing, since I’m normally not a fan of citrusy-esque beers, but this was fine.

Overall, I saw a comment saying this was not as good as State of Mind by Collective Arts, but I disagree. They’re both equally as semi-tolerable. Honestly though, it’s okay. Give it a shot. Nothing special, but nothing crappy either.

Chinese gold and filtered with a moderate amount of slow rising carbonation. Topped with 2 fingers of off white head.

Smells of tropical fruits, citrus, papaya, ripe mango, caramelised sugar,

The taste follows the nose, and finishes with a big, bitter bomb that lingers on the tongue.

Moderate carbonation, with a moderate body that doesn't come across as light for a session ale.

Drinking at Walkers Point, ON, Jan 22nd, 2018. Really well done brew.

This beer has a unique flavor that exites your taste buds. The after taste is almost better then the original flavor burst. If you like IPA's this beer will not disappoint.

Light orange, good head. Grapefruit nose, very light bodied, medium carbonation. Less resinous finish. Tasty but outclassed by State of Mind.

A-Clear gold with a slight orange tint. Big white head that is light and airy
S-Citrus and pine with a very subtle roasted malt aroma
M-Light mouthfeel and medium to high carbonation
T-Fresh sweetness and bitterness upfront, with a caramel and roasted malt character. There is also a chewy feel that is pleasant. The bitterness in the middle and finish is a little assertive, but enjoyable
O-This is a very nice session beer. Quite drinkable, light and refreshing

Delicious as the label says it's clean, crisp with refreshing hop aromatics. A lot like Wellington kicking back, great summer beer. Very nice. Can design was something that I may not pickup, but now it's a definite buy.
