La Maltista Red
This Irish Red Ale presents a robust take on the style with its 6.1% ABV, leaning into a rich malt profile that exceeds traditional session strengths. It leads with a strong presence of toasted malts and deep caramel sweetness, complemented by distinctive notes of roasted nuts. Despite its strength, it maintains an easy-drinking quality, offering a smooth entry that transitions into a characteristically dry, roasted finish. The low carbonation enhances the velvety texture of the malt, while the minimal hop influence allows the complex interplay of toffee and grainy-biscuity flavors to remain the primary sensory focus.
Appearance. Clear, medium reddish-copper color (approximately 14 SRM) with a low, tan-colored head that displays average persistence and light lacing.
Aroma. Moderate malt intensity featuring toasted grain and prominent caramel and toffee notes. Very low earthy hop aroma. Clean fermentation profile with minimal esters and no significant diacetyl.
Taste. Initial impression of caramel sweetness and toasted malt, followed by flavors of roasted nuts and biscuity grain. Medium-low bitterness provides balance, while the finish is medium-dry with a signature light touch of roasted grain dryness. Clean and smooth aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Low carbonation as per the brewer's intent, with a subtle, well-integrated alcohol warmth consistent with its strength.
