@enog I'll see your IPA... and raise you a Red Ale. 🙂 Reds have been my “go to” beer since I discovered Boont Amber in 1992. But there haven't been a lot of choices. Now new reds are appearing all over the place.

This Pizza Port Shark Bite, from Carlsbad, California, is an excellent example of the newcomers. Hoppy all the way through like an West Coast IPA, but malty and roasted, with not too much of either, a real bite and very little sweetness. Holds its own against by category favorite, Federation Utopia Planitia. I'm thinking I need to put these new American Reds into a different category; Boont Amber, Smithwicks, and O'hara's Red are all outstanding ales, but with a lot less bit.

My favorite beer for the past year, and one my son and I agree on. Most rye ales I've tried are more like barleywine. Here the rye is subtle, adding some character, a bit of spicy sweetness, very different from malt, that balances the moderately strong herbal hops. I love the nose, the taste, and the finish. 🥰

There's some really solid beer in the East Bay. I need to get out there more, and (if needed) crash at my daughter's place if I've had a little too much.

Meanwhile I need to rethink how I photograph my pours. I like what @enog has been doing. These shots on my workbench are fun, but really don't show off the beer's color.

@enog I used to always take a picture of my first pour of a new beer, and write down my thoughts about it. Since leaving Facebook I've only shared my thoughts with my beer buddy (a.k.a. my son) and random coworkers. Until now. 🙂

After a period of dropping $100+ every time I went to my beer store. I embarked on a mission to buy brews that were local *and* reasonably priced, less than $2 for a 12oz can or $3 for a 16 oz can. And here we are.

East Brother promotes their Red IPA as something between an Amber and a true IPA. It's actually nothing like an IPA, but it is a solid red ale. There's floral and fruit up front, a touch of bitterness, and a proper medium body with flavors of caramel / roasted malt and a bit of sweetness, very balanced. The finish is startlingly astringent, and gets unpleasant as I finish the glass. So I'd call it solid, but there are other local reds I like better. I would like to try it on tap.

This evenings beer is a Laubbläser by Wittendorfer Brauerei Neumünster. It's an excellent hoppy red ale, a very underrated beerstyle if you ask me.
