The Buzz
The Buzz is a seasonal American-style red ale that Hop Nation brews ahead of the colder months, pairing a pronounced malt base with Amarillo, Simcoe and Mosaic hops. It pours amber. Rounded caramel and toffee malt carries piney, spicy and floral hop notes, with a light citrus edge from the Amarillo. The body is smooth and medium-full, and the hop bitterness keeps the sweetness in check through the finish.
