“You don’t deserve the name Ruhstaller or Sacramento until you use local hops.”

I guess we just earned it.

We grew this beer with Cascade & Chinook hops grown at the Ruhstaller Farm & Yard in Dixon, California and California Common hops grown at Utterback Farms in Sloughouse, California.

One of the best reds I've had. Nice beer. Locally grown hops.

More amber than red. Solid, decently performing hoppy amber, however: decent bite, from both the moderate, small-bubble carbonic tingle and the sweet-basil, grassy herbal tang of the hops. Dry, sweet brown-malt textures, with a soft, very mild lemony citrus character, and a smooth, even innocuous, character throughout. Bit of saccharine linger on the finish. A quality beer, but only a very qualified "good", and—sadly—by no means "great."

Nothing groundbreaking here, but this is a real solid amber ale. It's a bit sweeter and less bready than what I prefer but still very well balanced and enjoyable. Also a bit less carbed than I'm used to, but I'm somewhat surprisingly ok with that - the flavor pulls it through. Pick up some if you can get it at a good price.
