Common descriptors are
Kelsays Celtic Red Ale (KCRA - which also happens to be Sacramentos local NBC affiliate) is now on tap. KCRA is an Irish beer from the Mexican everyone thinks is Italian. This is Marios first recipe, and he is quite happy with how it turned out. Basically there are some imported Crystal and Biscuit malts being used, which will provide a deep red color and a toasted caramel flavor. Nugget and Glacier hops were used in moderation for a slight bitterness and a hint of spice. Essentially this beer is similar to the Stony Face Red Ale, but with less malty flavor and a bit sweeter on the edges. The alcohol by volume is 5.2%. It is comparable to a Killians Irish Red.
