Galilea Red Ale is an approachable Irish Red Ale that balances malt complexity with a distinctively dry finish. The sensory experience is led by toasted malt and soft toffee notes, evolving into a grainy, biscuity palate. Unlike filtered commercial examples, its unfiltered nature adds a rustic, slightly hazy texture. Expect subtle earthy hop notes in the background, providing just enough structure to support the malt-forward profile. The finish is characterized by a hint of roasted grain dryness, ensuring high drinkability. Brewed for the Beer Palma festival, it offers a clean, smooth fermentation profile that highlights the interplay between caramel sweetness and toasted grain.
Appearance.Medium reddish-copper (SRM 12-14). Due to being unfiltered, it displays a slight haze rather than being brilliant. Topped with a low, off-white to light tan head with average persistence and light lacing.
Aroma.Moderate malt intensity featuring aromas of lightly toasted bread, soft caramel, and a touch of toffee. Hop aroma is very low, showing a faint earthy quality. The fermentation profile is clean, with minimal esters and no diacetyl.
Taste.Initial impression of soft caramel malt sweetness and toasted bread. The mid-palate transitions to a neutral, grainy character with a hint of biscuity flavor. Hop bitterness is medium-low, providing balance without being assertive. The finish is medium-dry to dry, accentuated by a very light roasted grain character that provides a crisp, clean aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a slightly enhanced texture from being unfiltered. Carbonation is moderate, contributing to a smooth and creamy sensation on the tongue. At 5% ABV, there is a light, well-integrated alcohol presence.
