42 NORTH’S NY RED ALE
ABV: 5.8%Style: American Red Ale – Slightly malty with some light caramel notes. Finishes moderately sweet with citrus, floral, and some earthy hop aromas and flavors.
Notes: Hops are NY Centennial from Hunters Valley Hops in East Aurora. The Centennial hops add a floral, citrus, and earthy flavor and aroma to the caramel and soft dark malt notes of the Red Ale.
Compared to a typical Blonde or Pale Ale, Red Ales balance the additional malt flavors with a presence of American or English hops depending on the version. This balance allows the beer to pair with bigger flavors and more fatty foods like sausage or roasted chicken. We chose to pair with a chicken farm fresh salad. The salad boasts a bitter, earthy flavor that will complement the Centennial hop in the beer. The Red will also balance the umami and subtle roast flavors in the chicken.
