Many red ales are classified as either Irish or American, this beer is more of a hybrid. It gets its red color from using Munich and crystal malts in the grain bill, and then adding a very small amount of roasted barley at the very end of the mash - adding color and not flavor.
The ingredients for this beer are multinational - Munich malt, english hops, and scottish yeast.
