243: Horizon Red Ale

I’m heading to the midwest in a few days (I’ll be touring Boulevard Brewing on Sunday), so I thought I might acclimate my tastebuds by sampling this Minnesota beer (from the last stash provided by my generous, beer-smuggling mother-in-law). I was expecting something a little less hoppy than a Northwest Red, but I was very pleasantly surprised – as I say below, I could drink a lot of this beer. Very tasty.
