Radical Red, as I am calling it, is a dry-hopped red ale that with prominent, crisp, floral hop flavor and a malty to sweet back. It's a red pale ale if you wish. I tried it alongside a Hop Head Red from Green Flash not long ago, to see how mine compares. Of course, Hop Head Red is a red IPA and was therefore much hoppier than mine. Overall, I would say mine is more akin to a red than the HHR, but again, it's a red pale ale.
Overall, I think this beer is rivaling C.P.P.A. for my favorite beer I've brewed. The Vanilla Nut Brown comes in a close third. I received a few comments back on the VNB, and many of them commented on the low carbination of the beer. I have rectified that situation here in Radical Red. I used brown sugar rather than table sugar and it turned out quite well, there are no under carb issues in this one! I will wait to see how this one ages before I decide if I will entire this batch of Radical Red in the Beehive Brewoff, or brew again before August.
Cheers!
