Day 31 - Trinity Red Ale

Equating the combination of malt, hops and water with "the" Trinity is a bit of a stretch, especially since, while ok, this particular brew isn't going to spawn a best-selling book to be written about it....

I'm actually a bit conflicted on this one. It tries to be really good, but somehow comes up short across the board. The color has a very faint reddish amber tinge, but not the coppery red to wow the eye. It has only a hint of the citrusy hops hit I prefer, and it's short lived. Reminds me of a 3' sliding board.

Specs (per bottle):

Full Name: Trinity Red Ale

Brewed by: Trinity Brewing Company

From: Chicago IL

ABV: ?

Ok, an interesting thing happened when I went online to find the ABV for this one. Per another beer blog, this beer is brewed/bottled under this name exclusively for Trader Joes, and no such brewery really exists. Their assessment was basically the same as mine, which is, a decent beer for someone who wants to look adventurous, but wouldn't dream of driving their HumVee off the city streets. The good news is, you don't know when you find the best, if you never sample the alternatives......
