Gunnison’s Red (150ml Draft)
150ml draft pour of our red ale that takes cues from the classic Irish Red style, employing a hint of roasted barley for colour and taste atop a base of sweeter caramel malts with a deliberate underlying bitterness that keeps the beer palatable adding a pleasant aftertaste.
Named after the boisterous Gunnison’s Prairie Dog of the four-corners region, our red ale takes cues from the classic Irish Red style, employing a hint of roasted barley for colour and taste atop a base of sweeter caramel malts with a deliberate underlying bitterness that keeps the beer palatable and adds a pleasant aftertaste, but includes a late dose of Chinook hops for a spicier, American-style finish. Our house yeast keeps the beer fairly dry with a malty backbone, making it easy to have another.
| Tasting Notes | ||||
| Appearance: | Dark amber (red) and transparent with an off-white head that fades quickly. | |||
| Aroma: | Toasty with a slightly sweet caramel layer over background roast character resembling coffee. Minor English yeast esters are dominated by a characteristic Chinook hop character. | |||
| Flavour: | Very similar to aroma, but malt comes out strong during the late palate as bitterness fades. | |||
| Mouthfeel: | Medium body and carbonation. Bitterness is relatively assertive. | |||
| Notable Ingredients | ||||
| Hops: | A late-kettle addition of Chinook hops provides much of the spicier flavour and aromatic notes in the beer. | |||
| Malts: | Made with about 90% Alberta malts with specialty English malts for caramel and toast flavours. | |||
