(NW) It’s here … Redhook Mudslinger Spring Ale

Woodinville, WA – A notice came our way that further sheds light on a recent release night that occurred at Redhook’s Forecaster's Pub. Now it seems, the much loved Nut Brown with its brown tap handle, has gone through a metamorphosis.

Dubbed Mudslinger Spring Ale, the beer is a retooling of the classic Nut Brown that many of you recall seeing on draft at the Forecaster’s Pub.

“Mudslinger is one of my favorite beers. We brew it in a traditional American Brown Ale style, using six of the highest quality malts available. The malts, which include pale, chocolate, three different caramels and a touch of roasted barley, lend flavor, complexity and offer excellent drinkability.” – Greg Deuhs, Redhook brewmaster

Tasting Notes:

· Mudslinger Spring Ale has a medium body and features malty layers of dark chocolate and caramel along with subtle notes of brown sugar and vanilla.

· The seasonal ale was brewed with six barley malts and two hop varieties, creating a smooth, well balanced brown ale flavor.
