Riviera Red Ale

Caramel, malt forward slight citrus. 4.6%

There are two main types of Red Ale; an Irish Red and an American Red. Both obtain their red tinge from the use of roasted specialty grains. The flavour for an Irish Red Ale is typically driven by a candy-like caramel malt sweetness mixed with a toasted bread character. They typically avoid any bitterness or hop aroma to allow for the body of the beer to be prevalent. The American Red ale has taken the modern approach of adding in hops to create a similar beer but with added hop aroma and bitterness. The beer should be an eclectic mix of sweet toffee and caramel with a balanced bitter aftertaste and a pleasant floral aroma.
