If you’re looking for something malty and sweet, try Scratch #442. This Red Ale starts with pale malt, Munich malt and caramel malt, and roasted barley adds a reddish-bronze hue. A mix of Bravo, Strata, Idaho 7 and Motueka hops add some atypical aromas. Look for subtle sweet fruit and ripe citrus on the nose, with a caramel backbone and hints of roast on the edges.

We taste: malt backbone, slight roast, hints of citrus
