Villa Street American Red Ale is an homage to our sister brewery, Tied House, which has been on Villa Street in Mountain View since 1987. It is a beautiful American red ale, dry hopped with Galaxy hops. Head Brewer, Greg Filippi, says this of the new release: Villa Street Red pours a deep copper to red color with ample foam in the glass. The aroma is immediately hoppy, with notes of pine and citrus and undertones of sweet caramel malt. The hop character continues strongly into the fl avor with a classic west coast style of resinous pine and subtle grassiness, with hints of grapefruit citrus brightening things up. The fi nish is moderately dry for the style, but the sweet malt lingers on the palate with just a trace of hop deliciousness.
