I love red ales and due to the lack of them on the market, decided to try my hand at home brewing. Brewed this as my first home brew. Used Cellar Science "Calli" yeast.VERY GOOD. Beautiful color and very drinkable. A little less malt flavor than typical reds and mildly more hoppy. Still very satisfying. My only complaint might be that the ABV is a little low at 4.85, but that could be my technique. I was hoping for 5 % +.This beer was so much better that I expected for a first brew attempt. Heck, remove the qualifier, it's still very good. I am very excited by home brewing and the potential results because of this beer. Everyone who tried it thought it was great.I WILL brew this again!
