Pin Stripe Red Ale

Name – Pin Stripe Red Ale
Country – United States
Type – American Red Ale

Appearance – Poured a clear amber color with a nice sized head but it did not stick around all that long.

Smell – Caramel malts with some pine like hop smells in there as well.

Taste – There were caramel and some roasted malt flavors that were backed with a slight hop taste that was like pine or grass.

With my first try at a Ska Brewing beer I tried this one just to get something simple.  While it is a simple style they actually do it pretty well.  There is nothing fancy about this but they seemingly did nothing wrong with it as well.  Straight forward in the approach of the style and I would have to say ‘success’ on it.

Overall Grade – B

    I’m still getting my body reacquainted with the east coast time. Still kind of living in the Pacific time. But it is good to be back.
