Karl Strauss brewery

[Used 2 B Hu]

Anybody had this stuff? From San Diego?

Neighbors just took a trip to So Cal and brought me back a couple Red Trolley ales. I thought I knew a lot of west coast brewers, but I have never heard of this brand before.

Whoa, whoa! One at a time, guys!

Well, finally cracked these open...nothing to write home about. Basic irish red, similar to a killians. Label said it was "loaded with caramel malts" but it looks/tastes kinda thin. There's a faint hint of toffee. Sour, too...what it really reminds me of is this house beer at a dive bar on the West Side called Rudys. Drinkable - but then, I drink everything.
