Redlands Ritual Essay
The Redlands Ritual... You will want to go over and over again.
Ritual Brewing is found in a warehouse district surrounded by nondescript buildings that don’t shout any business presence. Despite the signage on the outside, you might not know it’s there. Go inside and its a whole new world. Lots of space to hang out, or play a few rounds of Cornhole, Giant Jenga and drink some quality beer.
Ritual has 4 beers that are available any time you want them, year round. An IPA, a Red Ale, a Belgian Enkel, and a Belgian Witaber. Almost all of these would go well on a hot day in Redlands. Which happens quit often. Im sure these are suited to the environment and sell off the charts to the locals when it heats up. Many of them are sessionable …show more content…
It was pleasant, light, with citrus and ended dry. It was very soft on the pallet and reminiscent of floral orange and spice. This would taste well with a wedge of orange along the side of it. Hold off on that, it might be a little too yuppie. Never mind, don’t do that. Just drink it.
I have never had an Enkel. Enkel simply means single in Belgian. But I have never been a Monk either. Enkel’s are commonly served in Trappist monasteries during lunch and supper. Rituals version is called Monk’s Lunch. This was light, in color and flavor. It was similar to drinking a Saison of a sort. It had some wildness to its yeast profile. This was not over powering and would be great with some of the food which is also availble here. Leaves your mouth feeling clean at the end.
The Extra Red Ale. Lets talk about the Extra Red Ale. I liked the Red a lot. If you are familiar with Jeremiah’s Red served at BJ’s Pizza and Brewery, I am going to say its not far off from that. A little more flavorful and malty, but very close to being a lost twin brother. Coincidently I know the Jerry, of which the Jeremiah Red was named, at BJ’s, and think that it is a very well deserved nod to him. The Extra Red Ale is the most heavy of the year rounds that they hold on a regular basis, but still light enough for another, should you choose
