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.
