Lompoc Brewing's Proletariat Northwest Red Ale
The Proletariat pours a blood orange color. Little hazy with some lighter orange colors shining through the edges. Very little head; quickly drained to a skim. Getting some rich caramel in the aroma. Very bready and biscuity. Strong esters; very berry-like. Getting some very sweet raspberry, almost like a jam. Little pine hop character.
Hits the tongue with some very sharp, sweet malt. Evolves into a strong berry flavor. Strongly carbonated; very lively. Noticeable bitterness, but still rather smooth. Some spice hops. Very fruity all around. Medium body.
Little too much ester and not enough hops for what I like to consider a Northwest red ale, but definitely a tasty brew.
