More information about Heroica Red Ale
When you work in a brewery, the after-work beer is just as much a part of the working day as the lunch break or meetings The staff at the Canadian brewery Steamworks Brewing have a clear favorite when it comes to their evening beer: Steamworks Heroica Red Ale is the perfect composition for a cozy end to the day and impresses with its particularly drinkable character
However, hops don't play first fiddle in this creation Malt has almost taken a back seat in the hop-crazy world of craft beer and often fades into the background in hop-packed creations Not so with Heroica! The red ale boasts an impressive amount of five different types of malt and elicits the full cornucopia of wonderful aromas from the grain Hops are of course also included, but the clear protagonist of this beer is the malt in all its glory
This fact becomes clear as soon as the beer is poured into the glass: Heroica flows into the glass in a shimmering copper chestnut brown, exuding a seductive aroma of freshly baked cookies, The hops contribute subtle hints of citrus fruit and pine resin The attack reveals a drinkable beer with notes of toasted hazelnuts, creamy toffee and strong malt A hint of grapefruit, grassy undertones and a nice bitterness complete the beer experience
