This recipe was my first attempt at cloning St.Rogue Red. It fell short but I ended up really liking this beer anyway. St.Rogue Red has more malt flavor/aroma and a lot more hop bitterness and aroma. This attempt is really lacking in the hop department when compared to Rogue. This is recipe is the second brewing of my first attempt at clone the red. I kept the malt percentages the same I just increased the batch size and slightly altered the hopping from the first batch.
This beer has a big caramel/malt flavor. Very tasty. I will probably have this beer around either kegged or bottled at all times. I really like this beer and I hope you do too!!!!!
