This starts with a malt grain start that isn't too bad. There is a bitter hop presence that really kicks in at the finish and lingers a while. There's an imbalance between the malt and hope but it still was a good companion with food although there are better choices in my experience

Beach Haus - since they built their own brewery in Belmar NJ - deserves better than it gets.
I'm going 3.75 with this. Try 6. Red Ale re-defined.
A: The beer is clear very dark amber in color with ample visible carbonation. It pours with a two finger dense beige head that lasted with a long creamy cover that it looks like a Nitro (but it's not) and lots of lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: Too faint aromas of caramel, toasted malts and earthy yeast.
T: The taste follows the smell—but is stronger, sweeter, creamier, and has metallic, sharp twang toward the end.
F: It's creamy with a moderate amount of carbonation, and that drying metallic twang that balances the sweet caramel. Odd, original, a good food and conversation beer.
O: Easy drinking, but odd in a good way.

Appearance - This beer pours a very cloudy amber almost brown with a good amount of sediment floating around. 1/2 inch thick dirty white bubbly head.
Smell - Doesn't really smell to promising to me, has a dark malty aroma with hints of caramel, a little booze to maybe.
Taste - The Taste is very bland and Malty upfront with a bitter bite on the finish with tiny hints of caramel and burnt bread.Not well balanced as it goes from nothing to a bitter bite on the back end.
Mouthfeel - Wet on the palate with a very watery mouthfeel. Light Mouthfeel.
Overall -This beer did not impress me at all. It totally lacked a body, and was not well balanced at all. Would not buy again.
