Beers similar to Rickard's Red

Amber Ale·Canada·5.2% ABV·One of 127 Amber Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Rickard's Red's caramel and malty character. Rickard's Red is the anchor of the Rickard's family and the best-known amber in the range. A fusion of three roasted malts gives it a deep reddish amber colour and a nose of brewer's caramel and toasted bread. The malt sweetness leads, met by a light bitterness rather than by hop aroma, and the body is medium with a smooth, faintly caramel finish.
