Beers similar to St-Ambroise Red Ale

McAuslan Brewing

Red Ale·Canada·4.5% ABV·One of 40 Red Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share St-Ambroise Red Ale's caramel and chocolate character. A malt-led ale in the classic red mould, built on caramel malt over a pale base. The colour is deep copper; the aroma carries caramel and toasted bread with a faint earthy hop note from Golding and Willamette. Caramel and cocoa carry the palate, backed by a nutty, lightly roasted edge, and at 25 IBU the bitterness stays in the background so the finish reads soft and biscuity rather than dry.
