Score

6.45

ABV: 5.1%

IBU: -

Ticks: 13

This is one of our 'Brew Master' Dave Barratt's favourite beers as he says it is a great balance of malt, hops and yeast. An easy drinking and smoothly hopped beer where the aroma is provided by Willamette with a harmony of flower, fruits, earth and spice aromas. If served at the right temperature the beer also has a deep and complex malt and yeast character that that comes from the selection of pale and caramel malts and we use roasted barley to help give that iconic red colour. For the yeast we use a traditional American variety that gives a dry and clean finish to enhance the hop details.

Grains: Pale Ale, Pilsner, with some Darker Malts and Roasted Barley
Hops: Magnum, Willamette and Cascade

(Draught at Stockholm Beer & Whisky Festival, 7 Oct 2016) Ruby red colour with frothy, beige head. Malty nose with notes of caramel, red fruit and spicy hops. Malty taste with caramel, red fruit, a touch of cinnamon and a gentle spicy bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a certain caramel sweetness. Tasty and well balanced. Quite nice.

Flaska från SB. Mörk lite smutsig bärnstensfärg, aningen disig, högt ljusbeige skum. Lätt doft med knäck, bröd, lite hö, aningen grape och tallskott. Rejäl kropp utan att bli för söt eller karamellig men också en lite unken jästton. Inte mycket humle, lätt beska. Bra balanserad för stilen annars en liten besvikelse.

Bottle from Systembolaget, e-order in January 2016. Hazy dark amber with a large creamy head. On the sweet side with malt, caramel, some dried fruit and hints of bread. The body was around medium and the bitterness quite light. A descent one.

Bottled from Systembolaget. Hazy ruby colour, mid sized head. Fruity toasty nose. Mid sweet with medium body and clean, rounded mouthfeel. Slight toast, some paper, low hop presence. Fairly low bitterness. Rather basic.
