Monday Beer Review Of The Week: Roscoe’s Hop House Amber Ale

Roscoe’s Hope House Craft Ale series has been a favorite subject of mine lately, a couple of weeks ago I reviewed Roscoe’s Pale Ale, which was a very full-bodied, yet smooth ale. This week, I am reviewing their Amber Ale, which has a very dark red color that almost peeks into a brown. The flavor is a deep malty richness followed by caramel undertones with a just subtle hint of hops; this crafted beer is very much a throwback to the classic styles of ales. I really like this beer because it very well balanced between the flavors to build a nice, yet complex flavor profile. This would be a great beer to have with a nice porterhouse steak, some greens a piece of crusty bread.

Monday Beer Review Of The Week: Roscoe’s Hopp House – Pale Ale

I was at my local beer store day the other day, which is a pretty decent beer store, there is a better beer place in my area, but this store has a good selection, prices and is a family owned business. Anyways, I was looking around the coolers and shelves for something and interesting to try beer wise. That is when I ran across Roscoe’s Hopp House,Pale Ale variety. I am a big fan of pale ales so I thought this might be cool to try and so I purchased it and took it home. I cracked open on the pale ales and poured it into a pilsner glass, it poured with a very light color similar to that of a lager and a short head giving off a strong wheat aroma.. This beer while having a pungent flavor could be hard to pair with milder foods, leaving it best paired with steaks and other strong flavors. In the end this is a great beer, if you can find it and like pale ales, give it a try.
