Thanksgiving Beer Review – Caute from Cellador

Our final review of beers with an eye towards pairing with the traditional Thanksgiving meal comes to us from L.A. newcomer Cellador Ales. Caute is aged in red wine barrels and dry hopped with Saaz hops.

Caute pours a hazy light orange color. Quite a bit of accumulated acidity here. You don’t notice it at first but as yout take each additional sip it shows up. Red wine on the nose but it devolves into a weird almost but not quite to butter taste. Some citrus and tannins in the background. Not really digging it.

But would it work with turkey and stuffing? It just might. It is potent enough and the tannins are far enough in the background to make this work especially if cranberry sauce were around. This could be one of those beers that is better with food around it.
