Paddy Bear is a refined take on the Irish Red Ale, specifically crafted for St. Patrick’s Day with an emphasis on drinkability and a crisp, clean profile. It presents a brilliant reddish-copper hue and a sensory journey that begins with subtle aromas of toasted grain and light toffee. On the palate, the experience is defined by its remarkable dryness, as noted by the brewer’s intent for a ‘bien sèche’ character. Soft biscuity malt notes are quickly balanced by a mild bitterness and a faint earthy hop presence, concluding with a signature roasted grain snap that ensures a refreshing, highly sessionable finish.
Appearance.Medium reddish-copper with brilliant clarity. Topped by a low, off-white head with average persistence and light lacing.
Aroma.Low to moderate intensity featuring a clean, neutral-grainy malt character. Subtle hints of toasted bread and light caramel are present, with a very low earthy hop aroma and a clean fermentation profile devoid of esters.
Taste.Initial soft caramel malt sweetness transitions rapidly into a grainy and biscuity palate. The flavor is balanced toward the malt but finishes very dry with a light taste of roasted grain. Hop flavor is very low and earthy, while the bitterness is medium-low, providing a clean and smooth aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with moderate carbonation. Smooth on the palate with no alcohol warmth and a crisp, non-astringent finish.
