I picked this up at one of the private liquor stores here. There are two types of liquor stores here: private and government. The government liquor stores are cheaper, but they often have less in the way of craft beers; the private ones can have a wider selection but can cost more. I decided to see what the private store had because I was a little disappointed with the government store, but I didn't intend on buying anything. However, this just jumped out at me.
Old Ruby Ale 1095 pours into the glass a ruby colour with a small head that dissipates very, very fast. I couldn't smell anything initially besides the almost undetectable odour of hops. In fact I had a hard time smelling anything through out the entire time I was drinking this beer. What 1905 lacks in smell, it makes up in taste. There is a nice taste of malt, but the hops is really where this beer shines. It's not an overwhelming amount of hops, it balances out the malt just right, but the flavours the hops produces are amazing. It has a very unique flavour that I struggled with trying to identify and couldn't. I could detect a very faint citrus taste, but it's almost non-existent. 1905 is very crisp, light and easy to drink.

May your glass always be full of good beer!
