Favorite American Amber Red

Nugget is good, but over hyped imo. I'd love to try Zoe or Red Wheel Barrow, but most bottles I find are very old. I drank 2 growlers of Tree House Ma over the weekend and it was killer.

 

fatheads bone head!!! Delicious!

 

Bissell Bros. Bucolia...

 

Nugget is pretty epic, but you have to get it and consume it in the first week of it's yearly release, or the malts tend to override the hop profile.

 

I haven't had many but Zoe is very good. They had this at a wedding a went to because the bride's name was Zoe. Only offered two choices for beer and both were great.

 

Nosferatu, Blazing World, Red Wheelbarrow and Zoe.

I also enjoy Nugget Nectar, but for me it doesn't stand up to the other 4. Looking at this list makes me realize how much I love this style when it's done well.

 

hophead red

 

Green Man Leaf Blower

 

I just picked up some cascazilla and it's pretty good. They use IPA hops on really nice pale and chocolate malts.

 

Maine Zoe, but I must try this Nugget Nectar.

 

Marble red or Marbles Imperial Red. I consider both red/ IPA crossovers. Both are delicious, imperial red needs to be brewed more frequently.

 

Mad River Jamaica Red - most underrated, and still a classic imo in it's style.

 

Malty variety: Fat Tire
Hoppy variety: Marble Red or Odell Red

 

Alaskan Amber here. Probably because it's the only red I remember drinking.

 

Bear Republic's Red Rocket Ale is my favorite red I can remember.

 

Oskar Blues G'Knight and locally Triumph makes a great regular Amber.

 

1. Lagunitas Lucky 13 Mondo Large Red Ale - Lagunitas Brewing Company
2. Red Wheelbarrow - MBC

 

Had a Wide Open Red Ale from Aviator Brewing the other night. Pretty tasty stuff!

 

Don't know of this counts but I am very smitten by ReDankulous. I find it nearly faultless.
