![]() San Diego, California - Amber/Red Ale - 6.8% ABV - This dank red ale poured a deep mahogany color with an off-white head that dissipates slowly. The nose features a big hoppy front with aromas of grapefruit, resinous pine, and mango, while having a sweet malty back end. The mouth was great; it was much hoppier than I expected, while having a blast of pineapple, pine, mango, and grapefruit flavors. Blazing World has a medium-light mouth feel, with a clean and crisp finish that'll quench any thirst. I was very impressed with what Modern Times did with this Amber - in my opinion, it's their best canned release yet. Cheers! 8.8/10

![]() Hershey, Pennsylvania - Amber/Red Ale - 7.5% ABV - This hopped-up ale poured a deep amber-copper color with a frothy white head. Tasteful aromas of herbaceous and floral hops are big up front, with caramel, toffee, and roasted malts on the back end of the nose. The mouth featured a big hop characteristic with undertones of caramel, citrus, and bready malts. The mouth-feel is medium bodied, which coats your palate nicely, with a sweet, crisp finish. Thanks to my man John for getting me this bad boy. Such a solid brew by Tröegs, cheers! 4.65/5 ![]() Escondido, California - Amber/Red Ale - 4.4% ABV - This ale poured a deep copper color with a frothy off-white head. The nose featured aromas of resinous pine, lemon grass, hints of caramel, and earthy malts. Flavors of grass, herbaceous pine, hints of citrusy grapefruit, and bready malts come together lightly on the mouth. The mouthfeel is medium-bodied, with a medium-minus, clean finish. The Levitation Ale is an easy drinker that goes well with some burgers on a hot summer day. I recommend it to those who don't like much of a bite, for it is a very subtle and balanced brew. Cheers! 8.3/10 ![]() Sonoma, California - Red Ale - 6.8% ABV - This ale poured a deep cherry mahogany color with a khaki colored head.

Bear Republic certainly brews some fine ales. 4.45/5 |
