Red Ale 4.4 º

8 Sail Brewery

This enticing Alternative Grain Beer, styled as a red ale, beautifully showcases the rustic complexity of rye malt alongside vibrant, fruity hops. It pours a deep copper-red with an inviting, off-white head. The aroma is a harmonious blend of spicy, earthy rye and sweet, caramelized malts, accented by bright notes of stone fruit and berries from the hop addition. On the palate, a crisp, peppery rye spice cuts through a gentle, bready malt sweetness, leading to a moderately dry, clean finish. At 4.4% ABV, it offers a beautifully balanced, medium-bodied experience with a refreshing, drinkable character.

Appearance. Deep copper-red with ruby highlights and a slight, natural rye haze. Pours with a dense, persistent, off-white head that leaves delicate lacing on the glass.

Aroma. Moderate intensity. Prominent toasted caramel and bready malt notes are layer with a distinct, spicy and peppery rye character. This is complemented by moderate fruity hop aromas reminiscent of red berries and stone fruits, with clean fermentation and no diacetyl.

Taste. Initial impression of sweet, toasted caramel and biscuit malt is quickly cut by a rustic, spicy rye malt flavor. Moderate fruity hop flavors of cherries and berries emerge in the mid-palate. Low to moderate hop bitterness balances the malt sweetness, leading to a dry, crisp finish with lingering earthy rye spice.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a slightly creamy, slick viscosity contributed by the rye. Moderate carbonation. Smooth and highly drinkable with no alcohol warmth or astringency.
