Beer Profile

Red Bird

Red Bird is a California Common, or steam ale, featuring a deep amber-red hue derived from caramel malts that provide a rich, sweet backbone. At 4.8% ABV, it presents a balanced profile where toasty malt flavors meet subtle grassy and floral notes from domestic Willamette, Perle, and Liberty hops. The aroma offers hints of caramel and light citrus, while the medium body and moderate bitterness deliver a smooth, approachable finish. This beer echoes historic steam ales of the Ohio River region with a blend of malt sweetness and restrained hop character.
