Sunset Red Ale

Sunset Red Ale Wine Details
Price:

Description: A medium bodied ale with the perfect balance between malt and domestic hop flavors and aromas. The use of "crystal malt" in the brewing process imparts a rich caramel flavor. The pitching of American ale yeast to this classic style gives our Red Ale a light fruitiness.

Varietal Definition
Amber Ale:
This is a more modern, non-traditional style, and many of these beers borrow heavily from the characteristics associated with more classical styles such as "Pale Ales" or "Bitters." Amber ales are light to medium bodied and can be anywhere from light copper to light brown in hue. Flavorwise they can vary from generic and quaffable to serious craft brewed styles with extravagant hoppy aromas and full malt character. Typically amber ales are quite malty but not heavily caramelized in flavor. For our purposes amber ales will also include ales commonly identified as "Red Ales," and "American Ales" as, from the consumers viewpoint, the dividing line between these styles can often be a more a marketing concern than a consistently observed brewing convention.
