Roadrunner Red Lager
Thunder Canyon Brewery

This beer is brilliantly clear and is almost brown in color, it certainly is not really red. It is topped by a small, wispy, tan colored head. The aroma is quite malty, with notes of toasty grain, biscuit-like notes, some hints of chocolate even, perhaps some hints of fruit as well as some herbal hop aromatics.

The taste is lightly sweet and has a hint of raisin and some other fruit-like notes to it. There is a fair amount of malt character here, but not as much as the aroma would have suggested. Some balancing herbal hop character is noticeable and there is a distinct bitterness in the finish that is there just enough to provide a crispness. This has a pretty nice malt profile, but I really wish that the flavor had lived up to the aromatic promises.
