The Fort Collins Brewery: Retro Red
SHAWN’S REVIEW
- Taste: 5

- Buzz Factor: 3
I didn’t know what to think about this bottle when I pulled it out of the beer fridge. Originally I was attracted by the sweet, sweet label, but as I emptied it into my glass I was immediately treated to a beautiful, blood, red hue. The head wasn’t super substantial, but well represented. After the first sip, the only thing I could think to shay was “Oh!” In short it has a nice crisp flavor that I will gladly pour into my glass again in the near future! The label is fun and really fits the spirit of this ale. Go find this and buy it right
now!

If I drank beer as a kid this is what I would have drank. My mom could have packed this in my old tin strawberry shortcake lunchbox with my pb & j and fruit cup. I swear I can taste apples in this beer; it almost feels like a cider. It’s sweet, but subtle and I enjoyed it from start to finish. I like the label - it’s unique and colorful and I would have given it a 5 if they didn’t use 7 different fonts.
