Origin Brewing / S.Y.C. Brewing Co. The Little Things – India Red Ale at 6.5% ABV (C$4.63 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 31-Aug-2022, acquired 6-Oct-2022, reviewed 14-Oct-2022)
Appearance: clear slightly reddish-tinged deep gold with two fingers of rocky off-white head, good retention and spotty soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: rye, biscuity malt, pine, earth. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter, light spice. (7/10) Palate: medium body, moderate-lively carbonation, off-dry medium duration slightly spicy finish. (4/5)
Not bad. I was initially a little worried, because it’s really not “red” at all – more of a slight brown tinge on the deep gold base – but the aroma is dominated by rye. Ultimately it’s got much the same flavour profile as a Red IPA, so I’m not entirely sure what “Cold” brings to the table. (15/20)
This will be my 5,399th unique Untappd check-in.
7.5/10 #ryansbooze ryansbooze.com
