Red Cross American Ale
Fitger's Brewhouse

A- Nice red very dark look. Its very inviting.

S- A very balanced nose which is good.

T- Simple yet enjoyable taste, a very solid Red Ale.

M- Somewhat thin and watery just a touch more would really push this beer up a notch.

D- Very drinkable and a nice solid beer but since its Fitger's you can do better then this one.

Since Fitger's brewpub shares its space within a huge hotel, there are other businesses located on the same level as they are. And right across the hall from the entrance inside the hotel is an American Red Cross office. Hence the name appropriated to this brew.

Light golden brown with an overall amber glow for color, slight chill hazed in body; thin, light tan head sits a bit before diminishing, lace in whispy ink blots. Aroma is dry and woodish with some biscuity/cracker maltiness. Taste is favorable with a good woody dry hoppyness that lays out a front for some grassy notes, biscuity malts coat at the finish. Finish is slightly drying, but a tad short/thin, yet leaves a gratifingly nice woody bittering quite late on the back of the palate. Feel is medium/full with a favorable amount of carbonation. A good drinker with a befitting solid amber character.
