Final Impressions
This is one of our favorite recipes and this is why we want to share it.
This Red Ale has a coppery reddish color, the foam is persistent and creamy. The first aromas that come out of the glass are raisins and caramel.
Alcohol is slightly perceptible, almost zero.
At the first sip you understand that you are not drinking a classic Red Ale, but there is something more. The flavor of raisins characterizes this beer and makes it unique. If you are thinking of improving the recipe for your Red Ale, we highly recommend adding the Triticale Cara20 malt for a different flavor experience.
