Clandestina Red Ale
Clandestina Red Ale presents a vibrant mahogany hue, showcasing a complex malt profile driven by Caramel and Chocolate malts. This American Amber Ale balances its deep, toasty sweetness with a firm bitterness that cuts through the rich malt backbone. Aromas of citrus and resin from American hops intertwine with notes of burnt sugar and light cocoa. On the palate, a rich, malty sweetness leads into a smooth, medium-full body, finishing with a crisp, lingering hop presence. The interplay between the specialty malts and moderate bitterness makes it an exceptionally versatile companion for roasted meats or savory seafood, providing a sensory bridge between sweetness and structure.
Appearance. Deep copper to reddish-brown (14–17 SRM) with high clarity. It supports a moderately large, creamy off-white head with good retention and light lacing.
Aroma. Moderate intensity with a backbone of caramel and toasted bread. Subtle hints of cocoa from the Chocolate malts are present. Hop aroma is low to moderate, displaying classic American citrus and pine notes. Esters are very low to neutral.
Taste. Initial malty sweetness with prominent caramel and a light toasty character. The bitterness is moderate to moderately-high, providing a clean balance against the malt. Hop flavor reflects citrus and floral notes. The finish is medium-full but relatively dry, with a lingering combination of caramel sweetness and hop bitterness.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate to high. A very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is perceptible in the finish.
