Russian River Redemption

Redemption pours golden, slightly hazy, with a quickly dissipating head. Its nose yields Belgian yeast, banana, coriander, lemon, and various spices. Very clean tasting for a Belgian with very detectable hops in the finish. Medium bodied, very aromatic, and lightly carbonated. The hoppiness and sweetness set this one apart from the run of the mill Belgian. So far this was my least favorite of all the Russian River ales I have sampled. This is no doubt due, at least in part to the fact that this is simply not my favorite style of beer. Overall an excellent ale, I enjoyed the additional hop presence. While I would not seek it out again, definitely one I would recommend trying.
