North Coast Ruedrich's Red Seal Ale

Pros: Hop flavor is excellent, without being overbearing
Cons: None!

North Coast Brewing is a California craft- brewing operation that first opened for business in 1988. This company’s products are distributed in 30 states and in some foreign countries. North Coast beer has won many domestic and international awards ...

Pros: Delicious hoppy-malty ale
Cons: None come to mind

Tonight was one of those nights when I just knew I wanted a beer. I had been enjoying some great beer conversation with a few co-workers, most of the discussion focusing upon the great array of craft brewed beers available around the country, and which...

Pros: Soft malty body with a firm hops bite
Cons: -

When I think about North Coast Brewing Company, my mouth starts to water at the thought of their absolutely magnificent stouts --- be it their dry Irish style Old No. 38, or their bigger than huge Old Rasputin Imperial --- I always associate great stouts ...

Pros: good, hoppy beer that works well as a session ale
Cons: Seal on label doesn't do tricks

So once again I found myself in the mood for a good ale. This yen seems to arise quite often. I had to take a quick look through the beer fridge for something that would fit the bill. I was not in the mood for an abusively hoppy beer. My hop...

Pros: Nice blend of hops and malt, easy to drink.
Cons: Not outstanding, but worth a try.

This was another one of my Christmas stocking fillers that I eventually got around to trying tonight. Ruedrich's Red Seal Ale is brewed by North Coast Brewing Company, a brewpub in Mendocino, CA. The company brews a wide portfolio of styles, although...

Pros: A balance of hops and malt, with an extra hop zing.
Cons: May be too hoppy for drinkers of mainstream lager.

This is an ale that accentuates the hop very well, but does not knock you over the head with it. You have to like the citrus/pine flavors of American Cascade hops to enjoy this brew. Of course, it's not all hops, there has to be malt, too. The sweet...

Pros: Absolutly Divine
Cons: Brewery is too far from my house

I love Red Seal ale! From the pop of the top, I am overcome with the beautiful aroma of hops. When it is poured into a glass, the copper color brings a smile to my face. The luscious, dense head rises above the rim and floats like a cloud over the rich...

Pros: light and flavorful ale
Cons: not full-bodied, might be too bitter for some

If you're in the mood for a light, yet pleasantly flavorful beer, check out North Coast Brewing Co.'s Red Seal Ale. For an Ale, it has surprisingly woody undertones with a full, dry aftertaste. It's a good buy for those who are looking for a light...

Pros: It's great.
Cons: none

I'm not a beer expert, I just like good beer. Red Seal happens to be my favorite. It's got a great copper-to-red color, is a bit fruity (while still bitter), and is quite good with a meal, especially a spicy one. It's pretty hearty... won't be much...
