What does this beer taste like?

Our Rabbid Rabbit Red Ale Extract Beer Recipe Kit delivers a bold, malty brew with a deep crimson hue and a smooth, rounded body.

A silky mouthfeel and supreme balance make every sip dangerously drinkable—a beer as relentless as the beast that inspired it.

And now for the possibly funny, possibly serious, possibly irreverent flowery description....

No one knows where it came from. No one knows how to stop it. The scientists warned us, but we didn't listen. And now, as the earth trembles beneath its adorable, menacing bunny paws, the world stands helpless before the beast—a massive, mutated, red-eyed, rabid rabbit rampaging through civilization with unstoppable, fluffy fury! Buildings crumble. Cars burn. Tiny people flee in terror. And in the midst of the chaos, one thing becomes clear—we are all doomed… unless we drink. Rabid Rabbit Red Ale pours a deep, blood-red hue, packed with rich caramel malt, a smooth, full-bodied backbone, and a bold hop bite as ferocious as the bunny beast itself. Hints of toasty sweetness balance the citrusy and floral hop character, creating a beer that's as powerful as it is dangerously drinkable. One sip, and you might just find the courage to stand your ground against the bunny menace. The city may be burning and the rabbit may be coming—but at least your pint glass is full. Drink up… while you still can!

All About Red Ale: The Balanced Beauty of Malt and Hops

Red Ale is the smooth, caramel-rich hero of the ale world—deep in color, full of character, and endlessly drinkable. This classic style takes the best of malt sweetness and hop balance, delivering a beer that’s as satisfying as it is beautiful to behold in the glass (never drink straight from a bottle or can!). Whether you’re drawn to its toasty backbone, subtle fruity esters, or crisp finish, Red Ale is the definition that complexity doesn’t have to be overwhelming—it just has to be delicious.

Born from Irish and American brewing traditions, Red Ale embraces its malt-forward personality while maintaining a drinkability that keeps you coming back for more. Traditional Irish Reds lean on biscuity, toasty malts with a dry finish, while American Red Ales dial up the intensity, often showcasing a bolder hop presence. No matter which variation you prefer, this style is all about balance—where malt sweetness meets a touch of bitterness in a beautifully harmonious pint.

Red Ale isn’t about excess—it’s about finesse. The malt profile delivers layers of caramel, toffee, and lightly roasted grains, lending the beer its signature deep amber to ruby hue. There’s a subtle nuttiness and a soft breadiness, like fresh-baked crust with a hint of toast. And while some versions lean toward the sweeter side, others finish crisp and dry, making them endlessly sessionable.

But don’t let the malt character fool you into thinking this beer is all about sweetness. A well-crafted Red Ale features just enough hop bitterness to keep it from becoming annoyingly sweet. In American versions, citrus, pine, or earthy hop notes often make an appearance, offering a lively contrast to the rich malt base. It’s this delicate dance between malt and hops that gives Red Ale its unique charm.

Red Ales generally showcase the following characteristics:

• Moderate ABV: Typically falling between 4% and 6.5%, Red Ales are built for easy enjoyment. They provide just enough warmth to remind you they’re there, without beating you over the head.
• Rich, Malty Backbone: Expect notes of caramel, toffee, toasted bread, and even hints of biscuit. The malt character gives this beer its signature depth, making each sip a smooth and satisfying experience.
• Balanced Bitterness: While not as hop-forward as an IPA, Red Ale still delivers a touch of bitterness to keep things from becoming too sweet. American versions (go figure) often feature a more pronounced hop presence, while traditional Irish Reds keep it subtle.
• Medium Body, Smooth Finish: Red Ale is built for balance—medium-bodied, flavorful, and with a crisp, clean finish that invites another sip.

If you love a beer that delivers malt complexity without sacrificing drinkability, Red Ale is your perfect match. It’s the kind of beer that feels right in any season, at any time, with any company. So pour yourself a pint, admire that rich amber glow, and enjoy the timeless charm of a well-crafted Red Ale. And if you don't, we will!
