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

Can from the advent box Pours a deep amber almost copper color with a frothy off white head that slowly recedes. Earthy light citrus bready light caramel not bad but a nice change for the plethora of ipa's so far.

Can. Clear dark amber with shades of red sporting a solid white head. Aroma of resin, pine, malts, red berries and grapefruits. Taste of resin, pine, honey, toffee, orange marmelade, red berries, grapefruits and some herbs. Strong bitterness. Medium to strong carbonation. Light mouthfeel but not watery. Tastes stronger than it actually is. Very enjoyable.

Nice ruby red / brown pour, should 1cm persistent head. Minty herbal on the nose. Malt in the mouth, nutty, a bit funky,, bit of nondescript hop bitterness in the finish. Not very well balanced, missing sweetness, missing some hop personality. Ok
