Great River Roller Dam Red Ale


Great River Roller Dam Red Ale, Great River Brewery, Quad Cities, USA (Davenport, Iowa). 5.4% ABV, 30 IBU.

Appearance: clear, deep reddish hue, speckled, spotted off-white head, leaving lace.

Aroma: sweet and malty, bready, when a slightly sour twist.

Taste:   bright, shiny malt, just a bit of hops, good balance. Not too malty, medium bodied, good and earthy feel and texture. Stays just short of sweet, has a good edge on it. Just a little bitter, just a touch of sweet and malty.

I respect this one, but it's really not what I go for. Is tasty and drinkable, though. I'd take one any day, but wouldn't go out of my way for one.
