The addition of Roasted Barley provides a subtle touch of roasted flavor, adding depth to the brew without overwhelming the palate. The low bitterness (IBU: 26) from Willamette and Fuggle hops ensures a smooth, easy-drinking experience, with just enough hop presence to round out the malt profile. With an ABV of approximately 3.8%, this red ale is light enough for multiple pints without losing its character.

The selected hops, Willamette and Fuggle, are known for their mild bitterness and subtle earthy and herbal notes that enhance the overall balance. You’ll also get SafAle US-05 yeast, a clean, well-attenuating yeast strain that promotes crisp fermentation with minimal fruity esters.
A Perfect Brew for Any Occasion: Rusty Tricycle Red Ale is perfect for when you’re looking to enjoy a beer with big, bold flavor without the heavy impact of high alcohol content. Its approachable nature makes it an excellent choice for craft beer newcomers or seasoned homebrewers alike.
