(En fût à la brasserie): Des pelures de pommes, de la cendre, des houblons juteux bien installés et une finale sans histoire. La carbonatation est assez faible, trop à mon goût.

On tap @ Rock Bottom La Jolla. Deep amber pour with a white head. Aromas of toasted grain and bread. Slight candy and caramel sauce. Mild herbs and grassy hops. Flavor is mostly sweet toffee candy and caramel. Lots of toast and bread, too. Subtle hop character and bitterness. Mildly acidic.

September 10th, 2012 - Matching the seasonal foliage everywhere else except La Jolla is the local Rock Bottom’s deep, rusty red Red Ale. The smell is filled with malts and the curious scent of a dusty, cool basement. I’d even go so far as to call it dank, save for a such of sweetness that reminds me of a carnival grade candied apple. A blend of caramel, toffee and some syrup form the core of the flavor, but it’s excessively sweet, bordering on candy like, with a bit of burnt sugar in there giving it an off flavor. There’s also a dash of pumpkin pie spice in the aftertaste, light and short, but not enough to mask or fix the over-candied taste.

Draft. Amber beer with a cream head. Malt aroma. Light caramel and light earthy flavor. Medium bodied. Light caramel and light earthiness linger with light fruitiness.

At brewery May 1, 2011. Other brews there were better that day. Sweet and malty and not much more than that. Bit of hops come out in the back. Just eh.

11th October 2008. GABF. Presented as an Irish Red. Smooth and malty but this is a little bland. Okay though.

Snojerk321 (2960) - San Diego, California, USA - DEC 13, 2009
Clear red color with a small off white ring. Faint nose of caramel malt, some green hops. Not much to this beer.

ghawener (1535) - San Salvador, EL SALVADOR - JUL 30, 2009
Draft: At the Rock Bottom in La Jolla. Is this an Amber Ale or a Red Ale? Light bodies, some sweetness from malts. Food Pairing: Nachos, bread cheese, quesadillas. The Pizza is Great!
