Rickard's Red
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.
