Garage Project Red Rocks Reserve Red Ale 6.5% 440mL
An old-world brewing technique meets new-world hops in Garage Project's Red Rocks Reserve Red Ale. This beer is a rich tapestry of caramelised sugars, juicy jam notes, and toffee sweetness, backed by a lush hop aroma.
Produced by Garage Project in New Zealand, this red ale undergoes a unique process involving rocks superheated in a Manuka wood fire, adding depth and character to the brew. The final pass through a hop back filled with Nelson Sauvin hops brings assertive hop aroma and flavour.
The palate balances malt sweetness and bitterness, with the caramelised sugars providing a full-bodied, rich texture. It's smooth, yet complex, making it a standout choice for those who appreciate nuanced brews.
At 6.5% ABV, this annual release is a balanced red ale that's both accessible and flavour-packed — ideal for those who enjoy a richer, more layered beer experience.
