This jammin' little I.P.A. hails from Surrey, British Columbia, where it is brewed by the Central City Brewing Company. It contains 6.5% alcohol, which puts it just over the line into the nebulous "strong beer" category. This brew is sold in 355mL cans that feature a foxy cartoon redhead riding a bicycle.
Red Racer is a murky, copper-coloured ale crowned with a thick foamy cap of off-white head. It features an enormous hop aroma, that tosses a little something sweet into the mix. There's a very robust, dry, hoppy flavour that gives way to a long, lingering aftertaste. The finish remains hop-tastic, but accented by some caramel sweetness.
Followers of my blog will know that I don't go for insanely hoppy beers unless they've got something else to offer as well. This brew has all the hops, but also heaps of character. There is a huge flavour that is enhanced by some subtle nuance. It is definitely delicious. This one is definitely worth a try.
Rating: 8.5 out of 10.
