RED TROLLEY ALE

Red Trolley Ale is a medium-bodied beer with heavyweight malts. We brew it with a half ton of caramelized malts for a rich copper color and toffee flavor. After adding the perfect mix of hops for balance, we warm ferment the beer to bring out a hint of dried raisins and currants. The complexity of flavors makes Red Trolley Ale a hearty and truly enjoyable beer.

Back in the day, we brewed Red Trolley Ale as our first holiday beer. In the spirit of the season, we made like Santa in a fat suit and stuffed it full of caramel malts. So many folks got on board that we decided to brew it year round. Years later, Red Trolley Ale remains the perfect beer to make any occasion festive.

“Karl Strauss Red Trolley is a medium-bodied amber ale that’s extremely balanced. On your first taste, you’ll notice hints of raisins and caramel. It’ll go great with virtually any meal or even by itself. In fact, it’s so good that it just took first prize at the Great American Beer Festival.” -Dan O’Brien, LA’s The Place

“Awesome Red. Differentiates itself from the pack. Nicely hopped finish, and balanced roasted quality that keeps me wanting more. No lack of ingredients in this one. And beautiful art on the label. Perhaps my favorite Red Ale to date.” - Jameson Huckaba, Beer Geni Beer Blog

“This is a nice beer; extremely smooth. This is a beer that’s got the potential for mass appeal. This is one of the best reds I’ve ever had. I would definitely recommend this. This is a damn good beer.” -TheBeerSnobs.com
