You know, I'm a dark beer kinda gal, but I can't eat my beer all the time. Sometimes I have a hankering for a lighter dark beer. That's where my Red Ales come to the rescue. These dark red, malty, yet refreshing ales have partied with me for many years. Sam Adams makes a good one. It's malty and goes well with just about any food without being overpowering. It is a little light flavored for my tastes, but you still get a good dose of caramel in there. This is one of the beers in their Harvest Collection. You get 12 beers of 6 varieties (all are really good...the other beers will be reviewed soon) for about $13 on sale at Lucky's.
I paired my glass with a veggie pizza from Mt. Mike's in San Jose. What can I say? Beer and pizza love each other and want to get married and have little bezza babies.
What Sam Adams had to say about the Irish Red: "This rich and malty ale originated in Ireland in 1710. It has a deep red color and distinctive caramel flavor from its pale and caramel malts. The malt sweetness is balanced by the earthy notes of the East Kent Goldings hops. Cheers!"
I concur. Cheers!
