New Glarus: Snowshoe Red Ale (American Amber/Red Ale) 5.70%

Drank From: bottle, poured into a pint glass

This pours hazy brown with porous, off-white head and great lacing. the smell is metallic like a winter warmer. The toasty malt flavors are naturally evident, but unlike some read ales, this doesn't have that strong sourness to it. It has a very smooth medium body that is non offensive. There is just enough sweetness to balance the bitterness. I am not a huge red ale fan, and one of these is plenty for me, but it is a solid beer in its class. 

My Rating: B/3.63
