The West Coast is known for massively hopped citrus-forward IPAs. A typical Irish-Style Red Ale is a balance of mildly toasted malts. Both styles are great in their own right, but together, they can be something special. So, we took our well-loved Rampart Red Ale and dry hopped it with a pound of Cascade hops per barrel! The Cascade hops blend notes of floral grapefruit with the light toasted flavor of the red malts for a beer that's incredibly well balanced. The core recipe behind West Coast Red dates back to the first weeks of Refuge, and it's always been one of our favorites.

20th Dec 2017 at the brewery. My son had a pint of this and I helped him with it! Red hue to the copper/amber body, off-white crown on top. Malt content won the aroma stakes, caramel like esters oozing from the glass. Taste is also on the malty sweeter side the hops only coming into their own late in the mouth to give the finish a slightly bitter and dry feel.
