Modern hoppy red ale brewed in collaboration with Galway Bay Brewery. Generously dry hopped with Simcoe for a firm bitterness that carries through the spicy, ruby red malt body. Some things there's no moving on from.

440ml can. Slightly hazy red with a beige head. Aroma of toffee, caramel, pine, resin. Taste of sweet toffee and caramel malts, strong hoppy notes of pine, resin, some citrus and berries, mild spice, bittersweet. Medium bodied.
Really nice hoppy red, could've got away with calling this a red IPA you know.
