Karl Strauss Red Trolley Ale - San Diego CA

Karl Strauss Red Trolley Ale - 3.5/5

Clang, clang, clang goes the sound of a case of Red Trolley in my shopping cart. Trolley as we simply call it has become a keeper in my beer fridge. I quite enjoy it and it would be safe to say that it’s my wifes favorite beer.

It pours a light red color and has minimal head and medium fizz. It’s sweet and malty with little to no hop bitterness.
With this in mind, I find it to be a little one dimensional.
It’s a good consumption beer and pairs well with grilled pork or BBQ chicken pizza.

Karl Strauss Amber Lager - San Diego CA

Karl Strauss Amber Lager

3.5/5

This little award winning amber colored gem is one of the best bang for your buck beers I have come across recently. We're talking strictly flavor to price ratio here.

Karl Amber has a generous caramel note and is mildly hoppy. It's twice filtered which give it a nice light amber luster.

I find it to be one of those rare full flavored beers which you can manage to polish off several in one sitting. Fortunately my local Costo sells it by the case (24) at a very reasonable price.

Try Karl Amber with meaty Pizza, Pork or Steak. The subtle sweetness to the amber lager will pair nicely with these meats.
