New Belgium - Red Hoptober

Love the name, luke warm on the beer. It's nothing to write about anyway...

Um, ya, so it's very similar to the Ranger IPA, but not as hoppy or unique in flavor. Really left me wishing I had went with another beer this time around. Its got some citrus in there, to make it slightly different, but still has that New Belgium character.

I guess trying out unexciting beers is just part of the job...

Oh right. Well.. my advice for this seasonal is to skip it!


From the company:
Fall is here and with it our seasonal ale, Red Hoptober. Shining like autumn leaves in a globe glass this beer pours a dark and lovely garnet as it builds a bright, inviting head. The Eldorado hops are bold and present with a distinct, piney flavor while the caramel malt and roasted barley provide a backbone to stand Red Hoptober upright. Centennial and Cascade hops offer hints of citrus, tickling the nose, while the tongue carries a subtle, roasty tone that pairs pleasantly with the warming bite of bitter. Red Hoptober is perfect for shortening days and campfire nights.
