Malty deception
Molly, New Helvetia Brewing Co.
New Helvetia’s take on the American red ale is pretty much how they describe it: deceptively complex. Molly, the copper-colored brew made with Delta-grown wheat, has a much softer touch than some other red ales, but maintains a subtle fizziness. The brewery’s “hefty amount” of crystal malt helps contribute to the beer’s fruity, yet toasty flavor. Grab a $7 bomber from your favorite local bottle shop. Or better yet, stop by the brewery’s tasting room and use it as a chaser for the day’s chosen food truck fare. 1730 Broadway, http://newhelvetiabrew.com.
