Description
Starting with a strong, yet balanced, malt and hop profile on the nose, Rollcage Red Ale continues by deftly balancing Maris Otter malt, 60L Caramel and a hint of chocolate malt with Chinook, and other wonderful citrusy and herbal hops along with a drying finish.

This appropriately red Red IPA pours very clear with an off-white head; this is a very pretty beer. It smells hoppy, bready and clean. The hop aromas are piney and earthy – a very West Coast feel. This beer’s flavor is similar but with a marked hop spiciness in the finish that lingers. Inside of the mouth-coating hoppiness are caramel and bread malt flavors that lend a sturdy backbone to the mouthfeel. This beer has moderately high carbonation and finishes dry and warm. This hearty Red Ale is proof that beer drinkers don’t have to choose between malt and hops when it comes to enjoyable brews.
