Irish Red Ale 5.5 º

Funky Fluid

Fairhaired is a refined interpretation of the Irish Red Ale, showcasing a balanced malt-forward profile with a slightly elevated strength. It pours a clear, deep amber with copper highlights, releasing an inviting aroma of toasted bread and soft toffee. The palate opens with a gentle caramel sweetness, followed by a grainy and biscuity mid-section. True to its heritage, a subtle addition of roasted barley provides a characteristically dry finish that balances the initial sweetness. With its smooth texture and moderate carbonation, this ale offers a approachable yet complex sensory experience that highlights the interplay between toasted malts and a clean fermentation profile.

Appearance. Medium amber to deep reddish-copper color (approximately 13 SRM). Brilliant clarity. Topped with a low, off-white to light tan head with average persistence and delicate lacing.

Aroma. Moderate malt intensity featuring notes of lightly toasted grain, biscuit, and soft toffee. Very low earthy hop aroma. The profile is clean with minimal fruity esters, emphasizing the toasted malt character.

Taste. Initial impressions of light caramel and buttered toast. The mid-palate is fairly neutral and grainy, leading into a finish defined by a light taste of roasted grain which lends a signature dryness. Hop bitterness is medium-low and well-integrated. Finish is clean and medium-dry with a lingering toasted note.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, even texture. Moderate carbonation. Very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth given the 5.5% ABV. No significant astringency.
