Off Axis Brew Co – Crimson Tide, New World Red Ale (4.8% ABV)

Welcome back to the Eternal Hoptimists.

Today Sam is holding back the Crimson tide, by drinking as much of it as possible.

  1. Name: Crimson Tide
  2. Brewery: Off Axis Brew Co
  3. Hops : Amerillo, Nelson Sauvin, Colombus
  4. Aroma :  Medicinal scent, with a caramel, & slight stoned fruit.
  5. Appearance :  A Ruby, Amber almost original lucasade colour with no head.
  6. Body :  Medium bodied, and well carbonated.
  7. Taste: Caramelized fruits, with a grapefruit draw.

Another Red Ale for me, I seem to be having a year of it so far. I liked this one, its cheap and readily available from LIDL, but despite this its a nice well-rounded session ale, with lots of caramelized fruit what’s not to like!

Our overall rating: 3.8/ 5.0
