Napa Smith Lost Dog Red Ale

 If you have been following our blog, you might remember the Abita Jockamo IPA review. This product hailing from Napa, California is quite comparable to the Jockamo. I am not making light of this brew, and it does have distinguishing qualities. As you can see, the head is not very tight, is quite fluffy and doesn't last. This brew has an abv of 7.2%, which gives it a smooth, rich mouthfeel that cuts the hop oils quite nicely.
  I did enjoy this, and its flavor was somewhat reminiscent of a Killian's, with bittering hops added and overlayed by hints of caramel and citrus. This is most definitely a brew that has been expertly crafted. It is not at all pretentious, but is full bodied and makes a statement of quality when you drink it. The Napa Smith Brewery suggest pairing this brew with short ribs, hamburgers and garlic fries. I am salivating right now. I would probably only drink 1 or 2 of these in an evening, but I would savor every drop.
