Better Off Irish Red Recipe

A classic Irish Red that will ward off gingervitis and protect you from the lava pits. A balanced ruby ale that finishes crisp with a touch of malt sweetness. An optional knockout addition of Goldings hops will provide extra hop aroma if so desired. Better Red than Dead!
