TailGate Brewery Cooler Nights Red Ale

What the brewers say

“Toasted nuts, light roast coffee, caramel, hints of cacao on the nose. Malty flavors and a gentle, citrusy hop note.”

What our panel thought

“Roast, biscuit, and toffee malt on the nose blend with some floral, herbal hop notes. Malt flavors of coffee, roast, and caramel are quickly overtaken by a healthy dose of floral and soapy bitterness that lingers into the finish.”

What our editors thought

“Deep bread-crust aroma with a slightly lemony top note. Heavy in the sip with a cocoa-like bitterness and meandering malt that seems bigger than it is.”
