Red Rye IPA. Some beers are hop centric, others malt centric, our Red Rye IPA is a tightrope walk between the two, big chewy malt flavours balanced against tropical hops and bitterness, complex with a hint of pepper from the Rye malt.

Half pint shared by Finn at NWAF ’13. Deep mahogany coloured body. Fruity nose nicely added by brittle caramel. Blended taste character of juicy and caramel malts. Good bitter support to the aftertaste. Nice and clean. One of my best at the festival (Manchester, 23.01.2013).
