"Red"

Gobble gobble...Happy Turkey Day!

This is a malt forward, hop balanced red beer brewed for both Christmas and St Patrick Day. Simple enough recipe and put together to utilize the other half of the Freckled Holstein S-05 Yeastcake, strong enough to make a statement that it's not ONLY about hoppy beers in America.
