The bitterness remains into the finish with dry fruity notes which implore the drinker to go back for more.” Stuart Howe, Head Brewer.

Yakima Red 4.1 Meantime Brewing Co Ltd

Yakima Red is 4.1% ABV and delivers all the flavour and character you come to expect from Meantime's variety of craft beer styles.

We hand-select five varieties of these hops for our American-style red ale – they pack it full of bags of character with spectacular tropical fruit and grapefruit flavours and give it a subtle and satisfying bitterness. Our Yakima Red gets its unforgettable deep ruby colour from a combination of British and German malts, which also combine to give this crowd-pleaser its medium to full body. Something you wouldn’t always expect from a 4.1% ABV beer.
