Irish Red Ale 6.1 º 28 IBU

Candelaria

Candelaria Red Ale presents a balanced and approachable take on the American Amber Ale, characterized by its deep reddish-copper hue and rounded presence. The sensory experience begins with a gentle bouquet of light roasted malts and soft caramel sweetness, underscored by a low-intensity hop profile that leans toward subtle floral and earthy notes. On the palate, a smooth, medium-full body carries flavors of toasted biscuit and rich caramel, providing a sturdy malt backbone. Despite its roots in Irish inspiration, the clean fermentation and moderate strength ensure a polished profile, finishing with a mild, well-integrated bitterness that invites another sip.

Appearance. Reddish-copper (approx. 14 SRM) with excellent clarity. Pours with a moderately large, creamy off-white head that demonstrates good retention and leaves delicate lacing on the glass.

Aroma. Moderate aroma intensity dominated by a bready and toasted malt character with distinct notes of caramel. A light roasted malt edge provides depth, accompanied by low hop notes of dried flowers and a hint of pine. Fermentation is clean with very low fruity esters.

Taste. Initial impression is led by a malty sweetness featuring caramel and toasted biscuit flavors. While the bitterness is on the lower end for the style, it provides enough structure to balance the malt richness. Hop flavor is subtle, mirroring the floral and earthy aroma. The finish is smooth and rounded with a lingering toasty malt aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a rounded, smooth mouthfeel. Carbonation is moderate, providing a gentle prickle on the tongue. Alcohol warmth is very low and well-integrated, contributing to the beer’s substantial feel without being astringent.
