Tintébin is a refined take on the Irish Red Ale, offering a visually striking reddish-copper hue and a profile designed for easy drinking. The aroma opens with a low-to-moderate malt presence, characterized by light toffee and toasted grain. On the palate, a soft initial caramel sweetness gives way to a biscuity mid-section, eventually yielding to the style's signature roasted dryness. This gluten-free rendition maintains a clean fermentation profile, allowing the subtle earthy hop notes and the crisp finish to shine. The balance leans toward the malt without being heavy, ensuring a smooth, approachable experience.
