We were on our way back from Louisville, Kentucky and decided to stop in Indianapolis for dinner. I was pushing to stop at a brewpub, and my coworker chose RAM Restaurant & Brewery. I was somewhat familiar with the brewpub chain since we stopped there a few months ago and I had their Buttface Amber Ale and their Big Red IPA at their Chicago location.
The ’71 Pale Ale was cloudy and was deep amber in color, the head was creamy and, as you can see, had some very nice lacing to it, despite falling fairly quickly. There was a nice piney hop aroma to it.
When I took a drink, it was a light-medium body and it had a crisp and refreshing feel to it. There was a nice caramel-like maltiness up front, followed by a nice piney and citrusy hop finish, which carried well into the aftertaste.
It went very well with my burger and fries, and I can’t think of anything that it would probably go better with. I really enjoyed the hop flavor in the finish, and if I had to guess, it was cascades and centennials. Overall, I thought it was very drinkable, and was a nice refreshing drink – with a nice hop flavor – after a long day.
