Lakefront Fixed Gear American Red Ale
These are notes from a bomber, taken in summer of 2010:
Lakefront Fixed Gear, American Red Ale, 22 oz. bomber
Hazed crimson coloration, bountiful beige head, a good inch, lasting and lace leaving.
Malty, fruity nose, nothing too distinct, soft, pleasant.
Taste: light hops up front, then malt, and sweetness, various fruits, apple, cherry, ...bright, plump malt. Really has the character of an Irish Red, but with American hops involved. Not too many, mind you, scarcely any bitterness, no, malt and sweetness dominate.
Big flavor, immense drinkability, ...very likable. Wish this were in a 6-pack of 12-ouncers, rather than an a bomber. But this is a bolder beer than Lakefront normally brews. So, cheers to that!
