Excerpts:

Tasting Notes: Strong bready, toffee, biscuit notes from the malt. Slightly increasing the bitterness to between 30-40 IBUs works well to balance the prevalence of the malt.

The Style: This style can support any type of hops the brewer wishes to use. In this example, we chose to use equal parts El Dorado and Azacca both of which are dual purpose hops to create a harmonious blend of tropical notes. Calling a beer, a “Red Ale” leaves lots of room for interpretation. This recipe could be made into an American Red Ale, Irish Red, Red IPA, Red Lager, and so on.
