Speakeasy Red

Speakeasy Red was my first foray into the catalogue from Waller St. Brewing in Ottawa. A rye session IPA, the beer in the 500mL bottles of Speakeasy contains just 4.3% alcohol and 30 IBUs. It’s a rusty red beer with a durable fog of creamy head.

Speakeasy has aromatics that are both spicy and coppery. The flavour is extremely mild, with malt character and a dose of rye spiciness, with a metallic, grapefruity finish.

An enjoyable and flavourful session beer, Speakeasy left me thirsty to try more brews from Waller St.
