Red Racer Dirty Blonde Ale
Central City Brewers + Distillers

500ml can poured into a pilsner glass, (cause that's what I had) Looked pleasing enough, medium amber color, clear but not brilliant, coarse almond head that disappeared quickly. The aroma left a lot to be desired, cheese and wet cardboard. I would describe the flavour as unique, not quite awful, but certainly not pleasent. Cheap hop flavour comes on almost instantly, but there is not enough bitterness to balance the sickly sweet malt, some acid, likely from the C02, harsh, not pleasing. Feels thin and prickly in the mouth, like warm club soda. I can't say I enj6 this one very much, maybe I got a bad can.

 

 

 

500ml can poured into tulip.

Pours a clear brassy amber with one finger of dirty white head that leaves boiling volcanic lava lace as it recedes.

Smells of fresh baked crusty bread, browning apple, mild underripe pineapple, grape skin, muddled citrus zest and cut grass.

Tastes of more bready caramel malt, applesauce, orange flesh, muddled tropical fruit and more grassy hops.

Feels light and airy. Light bodied with creamy carbonation. Finishes dry.

Verdict: Highly recommended. Excellent beer for thirsty weather.
