COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
keg,regular
Originally known as malty dog
A complex malt character and nose, flavors of caramel and hints of chocolate grains evident in this medium bodied ale. This beer sports a deeper hue of rich copper color and slightly hoppier bite than its English or Irish cousin. Its clean finish helps it pair with a wide variety of foods.

On tap at the brewery tap. In a dark bar this appears to be a golden brown with a hint of red. Malty aroma. Sweet finish with a little chocolate.

At a fiver a pint I expect a fairly decent beer. hazy pale amber - Its pretty much an irish red but doe have some hop character. caramel, red fruits with medium body and carbonation. pleasant but not wowingly so.

I’ve been waiting to try their beer, and yesterday my wife and I went to Home Plate BBQ, where they had SBB’s Red Ale and Porter on draft. I ordered the Red Ale first and when the pint came I had to ask the waiter if he had poured me the porter by mistake. The beer wasn’t as dark as a porter should be, but it was much darker than a red ale typically is. It was very cloudy and lacked a head. The aroma was a mixture of floral and earthy notes. The mouthfeel was slick and almost oppressive. I was still doubtful that the pint in front of me was a red ale or the porter, so upon the first taste I was surprised that I was still unsure...was this a weak and watery porter, or was it an ambiguous red ale? There were faint hints of chocolate malt, but that oppressive mouthfeel clouded my ability to discern porter from red ale. I spent half the pint wondering what the hell I was drinking, until I finally gave up and ordered a bottle of Brooklyn East IPA. I was hoping for a great pint by Beijing’s second craft brewery, I guess I will have to wait a bit longer.
