About This Beer
RedWillow Brewery Wreckless APA is a benchmark for balance in modern British brewing. Brewed to 4.8% ABV, this American-style pale ale pairs tropical and citrus hop character with a clean, biscuity malt base. The result is a beer that’s vibrant and aromatic yet refreshingly smooth. Using classic American hops like Citra and Amarillo, Wreckless delivers waves of grapefruit, orange zest and soft pine notes that linger just long enough before finishing crisp and dry. It’s the perfect bridge between full-flavoured IPAs and session-strength ales – easy to enjoy, yet crafted with real finesse.
