UPDATED: MAY 3, 2019 Bottle at the Hop House, Hong Kong. Poured a hazy medium amber with a short-lived frothy white head. The aroma is toffee caramel malt, woody hop. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a grainy, light toffee, woody hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

Cloudy amber color with a creamy long-living head of white foam. Some fruity, somewhat jammy like marmalade and some floral. Some caramel and mild bitterness.

I purchased a 6 pack at target and it tasted so much like metal that I could barely choke it down. I would avoid this at all costs. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

A Northern California classic. A rich caramel and nutty aroma amber ale that goes down easy. Nice thickness in appearance. Too bad Mendocino Brewing Company is going through tough times and we might not be able to get Red Tail much longer.

Trader Joe's. OK beer. Red amber. Cloudy. Bitter after taste. There are better choices at Trader Joe's. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

From old tasting notes. Cloudy, reddish orange color. Small creamy beige head. Fragrant malt/hop aroma. Spicy toasted malt flavor. Complex malt flavor upfront.nAssertive hop finish is dry and crisp. Long bitter aftertaste. Nice balance.

Solid offering from this under-rated NorCal brewery. These guys are OG all the way - they’ve been kicking it since 1983. The brew isn’t quite as dank as homegrown products of the area, but Red Tail Amber is a solid example of the style. Clean on the palate, nice malt balance, and enough hops to keep it real. Good beer to sip with a few bong loads while waiting for the NBA final game to start. Go Warriors!

6%ABV. Amber ale. Poured out slightly cloudy rust. 16ºSRM. Nose is beery and malty. There is slight funkiness to the nose, a little dank and with the sweet eatery aroma of warm over ripe fruit. Nose also has dates and some spiciness in the nose suggesting nutmeg. Mouthfeel is soapy. There is good carbonation. The palate has sweet malt body with the spiciness of rye. Other flavors include graham crackers, honey, dates, raisins. The toasty malty sweetness is pronounced and forms a very solid backbone to this surprisingly easy to appreciate ale. Hops are bitter and sappy. Finish is medium with bitter, vegetal and some stone fruit peel. Overall, a very pleasant, full-bodied ale with a malty expression, nicely balanced with bitter hops. Very very nice. Goes on Favorites List!

Bottle. Malty aroma with yeasty notes. Grainy and earthy. The flavour is mainly bitter. The body is light and the texture is watery. Soft carbonation.
