Howling Hops

Howling Hops Bread Knot reimagines the classic Irish Red Ale with a creative twist, integrating San Franciscan Salted Sourdough Pretzels directly into the mash. This bold red ale pours with a distinctive copper hue, offering an aromatic profile rich in toasty Biscuit and Amber malts. The palate is a harmonious interplay of caramel sweetness from Crystal malts and a subtle, savory salinity derived from the pretzels. Expect a complex grain bill that delivers deep toasted crust flavors and a hint of sourdough tang, finishing with the signature roasted dryness of the style. It is a playful, textured, and deeply evocative sensory experience.

Appearance. Medium reddish-copper with good clarity; topped by a persistent, light tan head with fine lacing.

Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring toasted bread crust, toffee, and a distinct sourdough graininess. Low earthy hop notes and a faint hint of mineral saltiness are present, maintaining a clean fermentation profile.

Taste. Initial soft caramel and toffee sweetness transitions into a robust mid-palate of biscuit and toasted grain. The sourdough pretzels contribute a unique savory note and a touch of salt that enhances the malt depth. Medium-low bitterness provides balance, leading to a dry finish with a light roasted grain character.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Moderate carbonation provides a gentle lift, while the five-point-five percent alcohol content offers a very light, well-integrated warmth.
