Brewed for my parents for a party they were having on their pier where they keep thier sailboat. Named after that same boat which has a red hull. Good easy drinking beer not to hoppy not too malty, hops are clean and floral. I have given it to a few people who dont drink "the dark stuff" and they have asked for a secon pint. Good started beer!
