I'd like to say Hello to all my readers from my new home. I recently moved and I've been without internet access until just last night. While internet-less over the last week I still managed to send out a couple of Beers of the Day, so now that I'm back online it is now time to post the reviews for those beers. I hope you enjoy.
Last Tuesday's Beer of the Day was Ruedrich's Red Seal Ale, from the North Coast Brewing Company in Fort Bragg, Kalifornia. The are the same folks who make Old Rasputin, one of my favorite Russian Imperial Stouts. Their website is www.northcoastbrewing.com and, in case your wondering, Ruedrich is the name of their master brewer, not the seal. Also, Beeradvocate.com gives this brew a B+ out almost 700 reviews (which is pretty damn good).
The smell of this beer is incredible and incredibly inviting. It is the perfect marriage of malt and hops, caramel and piney-citrus spiraling together out of the glass. Also, for an ale, it smells very crisp and clean.
Once you taste it you quickly get hit with piney, floral hops up front, immediately followed by solid malt undercurrent, which becomes more noticable as the beer warms. It finishes clean and hoppy with a mild touch of hop resin on the tongue that quickly fades. There is an almost non-exsistant aftertaste that, even though short-lived, manages to be half hop and half malt.
This is a crisp and hoppy beer, much like the Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, only maltier. It is just about perfectly carbonated and incredibly easy to drink.
This is not an über complex beer. It is a simple but very well made and very well balanced beer. It is probably the most well balanced everyday drinking ale I have come across so far and it is quality stuff for sure. Like the label says: Water, malted barley, hops, yeast & thats all. No BS there.
Red Seal is tasty, balanced, refreshing, inviting and easy to drink. It is, like most west coast ales, a hoppy beer, so if you can live with that then you need to try this beer. A GLASS FULL all the way and another winner from North Coast Brewing. Cheers!
