I went out to eat at Porter's Tavern and noticed Hummin' Bird on tap and had to get it. If this beer is bottled, I've never seen it. Since I figured that I'd never get to taste this beer unless I ordered it in this manner, I went and ordered it! I received a golden colored 10 oz glass of goodness. Little to no head was apparent by the time I received my glass. Faint smell of grains, maybe a light citrus note, but that was about it. When I tasted it, I immediately thought to myself that this was a Red Oak product. Incredibly clean finish. Nice mouthfeel. The occasional metallic aftertaste.
At first, I thought this beer was another winner from Red Oak. But then I got around to thinking. This beer didn't have a lot of flavor to it. It could have come across as a light beer..a very good light beer for its kind,. but not too different from the Coors/Bud that you can find anywhere. When I realized that fact, I realized that this beer didn't have enough..needed more. Not a bad daily drinker option, but only if you're needing to throw 3-4 beers back.
Grade: C
Price Paid: $3.00 (10 oz draught)
