Red ales are a microbrew staple in the Atlantic provinces and this Annapolis Valley example is one of the region's finest. Made with six different malts, the nose boasts aromas of whole grain toast, quinoa, red liquorice and whispers of blueberry jam. The sip starts out with sweet grain but the toasted character dries things out with a soft bitterness balancing out the finish. Made for pairing with food, this red ale would be a standout with Chinese takeout and pulled or roasted pork.
