This Irish Red Ale presents a structured sensory profile built on a diverse malt bill and locally grown white corn from the Vall de Bianya. Visually, it displays a deep reddish-copper hue with a steady tan head. The sensory experience is uniquely defined by a potent, perfumed fragrance of green cardamom, which weaves herbal and floral spice through notes of soft toffee and toasted grain. The palate is robust yet balanced, offering a blend of biscuity sweetness and a characteristic dry, slightly roasted finish. The addition of white corn provides a distinctive grainy depth that supports the bold, aromatic spice profile.

Taste.Initial soft caramel and toffee sweetness transitions into a grainy-biscuity mid-palate influenced by the white corn. The flavor is defined by the green cardamom's cool, herbal spice.
