Rimpau Red
Back Street Brewery & Lamppost Pizza

 

 

 

Sampled at the Corona brewery last weekend, reviewed from notes, color is mahogany with some lighter red highlights, small 1/4 inch off white bubbly head that does not last long, no lacing either, smell is made up of caramel, light bread, roasted malts, light hops, some cocoa, and other source of sweetness, taste is too malty from the very beginning, only a little bit of biscuity malt in the middle, then more sweet malt in the finish, little change as it warms, lots of caramel later on, almost tastes like it is roasted at certain times, sweet and slightly chewy mouthfeel, thin body, too much carbonation for its style, could not drink a whole lot of this, the fact that the taste is light and a bit watery helps out its drinkability, it is still to sweet overall, probably would skip next time, might be worth trying
