Buy the ticket, take the ride.
5AM Red Ale is 5 malts, 5 hops and 5% abv. But that’s where the order ends.
Jump in and you’ll find berry bouncing off marmalade clashing with caramel cosying up to chocolate buzzing off spice sizzling with toast laced with lychee and colliding with biscuit.
As malty as it is hoppy. As anarchic as it is structured. Bitterness and sweetness, all neatly messed up in a triumph of pure chaos.
Perfect, baffling symmetry. Go fathom 5AM.
Malts: Maris Otter, Caramalt, Munich Malt, Crystal and Dark Crystal Malts
Hops: Nelson Sauvin, Amarillo
Dry Hops: Simcoe, Cascade, Centennial, Ahtanum, Nelson Sauvin

Bottle from Masuyo. Pours a clear amber with a small off-white head. Nose is pine resin, caramel and some grapefruit. Taste is more of the same. A woody bitterness on the palate with some bready malt sweetness to balance it out. Bitter finish with some grapefruit showing.

Ruby copper colored, small off white head. Aroma is the best part, strong in the way of the hops; citrus, passionfruit, floral aroma. Taste is sweet malt, low toffee, citrus, fruit and flowery hoppiness. Medium but lingering bitterness. Light bodied and refreshing.
