Beer Profile

Red Bird

Red Bird is a California Common (Steam Ale) with an inviting deep amber-red hue, derived from a blend of caramel malts that provide a rich, slightly sweet malt backbone. At 4.8% ABV, it offers a balanced profile where the maltiness is complemented by moderate bitterness from Willamette, Perle, and Liberty hops. The aroma features subtle earthy and floral hop notes alongside toasted caramel. Smooth and medium-bodied, this steam ale presents a crisp finish with a gentle hop presence, evoking the traditional ales once brewed along the Ohio River in the 19th century.
