Orlando Brewing® Organic Red Ale Bottle
Description: A classic American red ale brewed for the color, flavor & aroma that comes from using a delicate blend of barley malts, whole British hops, pure water and a special blend of yeast. Clean and crisp flavor, alluring aroma and unmistakable natural color.
Aroma: A rich hop aroma from late kettle additions of British hop varieties mixed with caramel grain aroma.
Appearance: Sparkling copper red.
Flavor: Moderate hop flavor from British hop varieties. Well balanced malt sweetness with hop bitterness. Moderate caramel flavor is strong.
Mouthfeel: Medium body and dazzling.
Overall Impression: Caramel malt balances the hop bitterness.
History: Called West Coast amber ales by some authors, this beer style was spun-off from the American pale ale style.
Comments: In the past, this category used to be part of American pale ale. Classically redefined as an American amber/red ale, differ from American pale ales not only by being darker in color, but also in having more caramel flavor and usually being balanced more evenly even between malt and bitterness.
Ingredients: American organic two-row malt, organic crystal and small amounts of special organic malts mixed with British hops.

Pleasant enough but not special enough that I would go out of my way to find the beer. A little bland and quite ordinary.
