Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the
NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.
Tonight’s featured beer is AleSmith Brewing Company Evil
Dead Red. I was very excited to see this beer show up on Caps & Taps
Facebook page and knew I needed to get in and pick this up (along with a few
other beers) before they sold out. As I’ve
said many times before, please visit local shops and support them. The guys at Caps & Taps (here) are really cool and if you go in
there tell ‘em you heard about them here.
From the AleSmith Brewing Company website: “Halloween is
time for our annual Evil Dead Red specialty brew. Vivid mahogany color, good
head formation and retention. Rich, chewy, toasty, malty flavors perfectly
balanced by a moderate hoppy bitterness.”
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours
dark amber with a large cream colored head and sticky lacing.
Aroma: Sweet
malts, grapefruit, orange, pine and earthy notes.
Taste: Sweet
caramel malts, roasted malts, orange, grapefruit and pine hops.
Overall: Excellently
balanced and really tasty, AleSmith Brewing Company Evil Dead Red is hoppy,
malty and well worth a try. This
Halloween (before and beyond) reach for this 6.66% ABV gem. You’ll be glad you did!
Cheers!
Mark Harvey
