Looking for a Red Ale

Jamils evil twin is outstanding. I always get requests for it.

How hoppy is the evil twin. Looking for something a little smoother instead of very bitter

Is this the same as Heretic's Evil Twin out of California? If so, it is very well balanced. Not bitter at all

Hoppy but not bitter. Almost all of the IBUs come from late hopping, which leads to smooth, less sharp bitterness and tons of hop flavor.

My understanding is that Jamil made the recipe after tasting an alesmith seasonal, Evil dead red, that he enjoyed.

I haven't tried any the heretic beers yet, but I'd imagine he kept it really similar. Its really excellent beer.

going to go for it. Thanks!

Look in recipe database for St Fuads Red Ale. Great reviews. I tried it also and it came out stellar.
