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. Dark amber, hazy body, with a medium, creamy, beige head. Aroma of citrus, berries, peach, grass, caramel, roast. Taste with about the same aromas, also some tea. Mouthfeel is medium, slick, with a moderate carbonation and it finishes bitter, citric, fruity and a bit roasty. Tasty! Lovely berry aromas, just the right amount of sweetness and bitterness and really refreshing and sessionable. Pretty much how I imagine a perfect beer of this style!

Brown colour, moderate head. Nice lacing. A: herbs, caramel, butterscotch, some fruity notes. Medium body & carbonation. Rather dry taste with notes of caramel, roast, floral hops. Well-balanced. Hoppy finish & aftertaste. Good

Bottle. Appearance is burnt amber, a little bit of haze/cloud. A small off white foamy head which clings to the glass. Aroma- lots of hops, caramel hints, fruity, bit of raisin, floral hints. Taste- pronounced hop bitterness, medium to full in the mouth, fruits, hint of blackberry, grassy notes, firm malt profile, biscuity towards the finish, which is bitter. Tasty.
