There is no wrong time for an Admiral. Whether pairing with a meal, leaning into a good conversation, or returning from a hike, bike, or powder session, this satisfying ale hits all the bases.
Built on a foundation of 2-row base malt with color and deep accents from darker-kilned crystal malts and a touch of roasted barley, Admiral is malt-forward, but not overly sweet. You’ll find rich bread crust, dark caramel, burnt toffee, and a hint of coffee here.
Adding nuance to that balance, Centennial and Nugget hops add a blanket of citrus and woody flavor, along with a slightly resinous bitterness that cuts through and balances the caramel malts.
With a higher intensity relative to other examples of red and amber ales, Admiral is remarkable in its drinkability.
