Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the NorCal
Beer Blog's brew review.
Tonight’s featured beer is Drake's Brewing Company
Expedition Red Ale. In keeping with last
night’s theme (all things Drake’s Brewing) I thought I’d write about another
one of their exceptional beers. Although this beer is available in October why not
get you clamoring for it now, right?
From the Drake’s Brewing website: “This Hoppy Red Ale is
loaded with Crystal malts for color and maltiness and balanced by an onslaught
of Cascade and Chinook hops. Behold Expedition’s ruby-red color as you savor
the wonderful aroma, complex taste, and mildly bitter finish.”
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours a dark reddish amber with a small off
white head and nice lacing.
Aroma: Caramel and toasted malts matched with citrus hops
and a brown sugar sweetness. Smells
great.
Taste: Sweet caramel malts and toasted malts are matched
with assertive citrus and floral hop bitterness. A really tasty Red Ale.
Overall: Exceptionally drinkable, Drake's Brewing Company
Expedition Red Ale is very well made. At
7% ABV you may not have several, but I guess that depends on you.
Cheers!
Mark Harvey
