Clube do Malte

This Pelirrojo Irish Red Ale offers a festive, Mexican-inspired twist on the classic style. The base features a sturdy malt foundation with characteristic notes of soft toffee, biscuit, and light caramel. However, the addition of chipotle peppers introduces a distinctive secondary layer, providing a gentle smoky aroma and a subtle, warming spicy prickle on the palate. These piquant elements are expertly balanced against the grainy sweetness and the touch of roasted dryness typical of the style. The result is a clean-finishing, medium-bodied ale that harmonizes traditional malt comfort with a calibrated, savory heat and rustic smoke character.

Appearance. Deep amber to reddish-copper hue with excellent clarity. Topped by a low, creamy off-white to light tan head with moderate retention and fine lacing.

Aroma. Moderate malt intensity featuring notes of toasted grain, light toffee, and soft caramel. The inclusion of chipotle adds a distinct layer of earthy smoke and a hint of dried pepper fruitiness. Hop aroma is negligible, allowing the clean fermentation and spicy-smoky additions to lead.

Taste. Initial flavors of soft caramel and biscuity malt are quickly complemented by a subtle, integrated chipotle pepper heat. The smokiness is present but restrained, blending with a light roasted grain character. Hop bitterness is medium-low, providing just enough balance against the malt sweetness. The finish is medium-dry and clean, with a lingering, gentle spicy warmth and a touch of savory smoke.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, slightly slick texture. Moderate carbonation provides a crisp lift, while the chipotle adds a very light, localized spicy prickle on the tongue that enhances the perceived warmth.
