Suncatcher Red Ale highlights a blend of crystalized barley and rye, providing layers of rich spicy caramel rye punctuated by herbal resin and bright citrus via a balanced dry hop of Chinook, Michigan Copper, and Nugget. Southwest Michigan grown hops and central Indiana malted barley and rye intertwine into a balanced hybrid experience perfect for the long shoulder seasons. This beer pours a tawny deep orange hue and finishes with a satisfying rye heft.

On tap at The Blackback Pub in Waterbury, VT.
This one pours a dull but creamy looking reddish color, with a small white head, and lots of lacing.
This smells like toasted malt and not a whole lot else.
I am by no means a hater of red ales, but this is just a little bit boring. With the brown and pale ale in this series, the 3.8% ABV was deceiving – they drank with more flavor and body than that lower ABV would suggest. However, this slightly watery and just plain red ale drinks exactly like you’d expect a really low ABV red ale to drink like. There’s a touch of toastiness and it’s very clean, but there’s just not much to it.
This is clean, crisp, and goes down like water – it’s kind of thin. It’s pretty drinkable all the same, though.
This was definitely the least successful of these Suncatcher beers.
