Henry Weinhard’s Redwood Flats Amber: Review

‘Brewed with cascade hops from the 44^th latitude'

Blitz-Weinhard Brewing Co.

Hood River, Oregon, USA

Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA

5.2% abv

Appearance: copperish-amber body with an off-white head

Aroma: very light, maybe dry toasted white bread, I really don’t get anything else

Flavors: lightly toasted caramel malt, herbal biscuit, hint of a floral note

To the Point: a below average Amber Ale to me; as a beer it’s average and average is not always a bad thing, for one it is easy to drink.  I say below average for an Amber Ale because it is too light on the nose and tastes like a pilsner or lager with a hint of flavor.  Hey Bud and Miller drinkers, try this beer, you should love this stuff.  If I was playing cards and smoking stogies … this could work. 

I reviewed their Private Res and this one … and I sampled their IPA at a bar … one sip of that IPA and I said no way I am drinking this ‘crap’.  I really disliked their Private Reserve.
