Beer Review: Bloomington Brewing Company Ruby Bloom Amber | Hello Indiana

The Ruby Bloom Amber from Bloomington Brewing Company proved to be a nice little beer find from a local beer store that has now been added to my beer run rotation. This is my second beer from this craft brewery and just like my last, this proved to be some good beer. Painted as a Red or American amber ale, this red beer comes in with a beer alcohol content of 6% ABV. And if you are worried about bitterness then don’t, the IBU level on this malt forward beer has been calculated to be 11. I don’t know much about this craft brewery if it were one of the breweries near me then I would definitely probably be all over it. I’d be curious to see how this played out as a draft beer, but from the bottle it still had a nice smoothness about it. I won’t give too much of it away about this good beer, but I will put it on the list of beer to try. Check out my video review here and you may be able to see why my personal beer rating for this one is 3.5 out of 5. Cheers, and keep drinking those good craft beers!
