On my first foray to the Hazel Dell Brew Pub, Clark County was still actively digging out from a freakish snowstorm that had slammed the brakes on much of southwest Washington. There were a dozen men at the bar and two women behind it. The topics du jour were frozen pipes and mad cow disease.
I ordered a pint of Hazel Dell ale called The Red Zone, a pale ale brewed and dry-hopped with Perle hops. Months later I returned and drank The Red Zone again. The two experiences were so different from one another, its hard for me to reconcile them as servings of the same ale.
The first beer was creamy with a resolute head obediently trailing stratospheric rings of lace. It is a beer that knows how to exit gracefully, I wrote on the first occasion. My second pint had no head and no lace. It was warm amber with a slight flush of crimson and slow CO2. Despite being dry hopped there was more malt than hops in the nose. The hops do a fair job of serenading the flavor with a flourish of citrus, but spend most of their time in the bitterness range. Their profuse quantity tends to crowd the mouthfeel.
I enjoyed my first pint of The Red Zone, and obviously I like the name. But my second pint was let down. This review splits the difference.
