Fixed Gear: Review

Lakefront Brewery, Inc
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA


American Red Ale
6.5% abv
54 IBU’s

Appearance: nice red ale with amber edges; one finger beige head that leaves some lacing on the glass


Aroma: moderate hop spice and roasted malts; the hops remind me of grapefruit and a hint of floral;

Flavors: crisp hoppy notes of citrus and spice; earthy caramel and grains; little rye bread feel 

Mouthfeel: this 54 IBU rating shows some good bitter notes on the taste and aftertaste; the earthy malts make for a nice balance; light-moderate carbonation;


To the Point: it is a bold ‘red’ ale; red ale is not one of my favorite styles – but, I would buy this one again.  It is an over hopped red ale and if you did a blind tasting on this ale you would guess – ‘American pale ale’
