Firemans Brew Redhead Ale

The beers of Firemans Brew are brewed in Ukiah, California (indicates contract brewed by Mendocino Brewing Company). The brews were devised by two firefighters, and a portion of the profits are donated to causes that aid firefighters.

This red amber ale is 5.5% ABV. It pours a dark chestnut or light mahogany brown, with light red tints. There is about an inch of creamy light brown head. The aroma is a combination of malty and hoppy, lots of caramel and roastiness, with pine and spice. The taste is malty, caramel and light fruitiness, a coffee bitterness, somewhat sweet, but with a tang, with a quite dry finish. This won't blow you away, but it has solid drinkability.
