Loakal Red is an oak-aged American Red Ale. Our tribute to the growing Orange Country beer scene. A hoppy red ale at heart, we, like so many ohter SoCal brewers, choose the citrus & floral notes of the Centennial hop to balance the light caramel sweetness of the malt. But, of course, we couldn't leave well enough alone. So a portion of an older batch, left to mature in new American oak barrels, is blended with fresh dry-hopped batch. The resulting blend has notes of toffee, orange-peel, crushed herbs, vanilla & freshly sawn oak, for a beer that is intricate yet unassuming.

Decent, but not overly impressed by this offering. Good dark fruity characteristic with some toast and caramel. Nice floral hop additions giving this some depth. Very mild oak which works well allowing the styles true attributes to play center stage.

Nice malty brew that still has a pretty decent citrusy hop bill. Caramel, toast and a little vanilla from the oak in the fore. Had with some awesome bigger brews from the Bruery, so this suffered a bit, but still quite nice. I think I'd enjoy this solo and will seek out again.

Sampled on tap at the Bruery Provisions on 7/16/2011. This amber ale pours a medium reddish color from the tap. Small sized white foamy head, with nice retention and good lacing. The aroma is fruity, sweet, caramel and a touch of wood. A medium bodied amber ale. The malts are fruity, caramel and sweet. The hops are citrusy and floral. Medium carbonation. Touch of oak. Nicely balanced. Very drinkable. I kind of wish all ambers tasted like this. It has a nice malt sweetness up front with some nice hoppiness to balance the sweetness. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.
