Mountie Red
Rocky Run Tap And Grill

deep amber color, very beautiful ale. is similar to killians but with much more prominant hops taste. this has a similar 'bite' as some of the other rocky run ales. goes great with meals, remains consistent throughout. not an outstanding ale but worth trying

-notes from 12/04

This was another sample tasted on the sample tray. Touted as being a Canadian Ale, this was a nice straight forward amber ale and a good one at that. It poured a nice red color with a tight pinkish head. The nose was primarily malt accented with some yeast in bacjground. Flavor is sweet malty with a nice hop balance. Body is nice and the finish and aftertaste are smooth. Good Stuff.

A slightly hazy deep amber/copper body is topped by a short head of frothy white foam that receeds shortly leaving just a wide collar and some spotty lace in its wake. The nose is a bit restrained, but it offers some mildly caramelish//toffeeish malt. It's medium bodied with a fine-bubbled carbonation that leaves it lightly crisp in the mouth. The maltiness really comes through in the flavor with a distinctly toasty and caramelized side that's backed by subtle floral and citrusy hops. It's balanced by a frim bitterness, and this just might be Rocky Run's best balanced beer! enjoyable!
