Day 51-Beer 51 Ruedrich's Red Seal Ale, North Coast Brewing Co., Fort Bragg, California

Today's beer poured a cloudy dark amber with copper tones. It produced a white head that dissipated fairly quickly leaving a good layer of lacing and some adhering foam on the sides of the glass. A nice balance of malt and citrus aromas with a hint of hops. The taste was similar with some hops bitterness upfront followed by some citrus flavours and caramel from the malts. A nice crisp refreshing ale with more than expected hops bitterness for a amber/red ale. I'd give it a 3.7 out of 5.
