We're big fans of beautiful, hearty red ales and couldn't wait to devise a new one for the season. Seven different malts combine to give this beer its dusky red hue and pleasingly rich, biscuity base. From there, Amarillo, Simcoe and Mosaic hops are allowed to sing with stone fruit, berry and evergreen high notes.
