Red Ale 6 º 22.6 IBU

Cervezas Artesanas La Primera

This Irish Red Ale presents a striking reddish-copper hue, defined by a malt architecture that emphasizes notes of toasted bread, biscuit, and a subtle touch of chocolate. The sensory profile is elevated by a thoughtful blend of English and American hops, which introduce distinctive resinous and spicy accents not typically found in traditional examples. On the palate, the initial soft caramel sweetness transitions into a grainy, biscuity core, while the finish is characterized by a signature roasted dryness. At 6% ABV, it offers a slightly fuller body and more pronounced character than standard session versions, maintaining a clean, balanced, and approachable profile.

Appearance. Medium reddish-copper with excellent clarity. It features a persistent, off-white to light tan head with average retention and moderate lacing.

Aroma. Moderate intensity with a prominent malt character of toasted grain, biscuit, and faint chocolate. Low hop aroma presents as spicy and slightly resinous, while the fermentation profile remains clean with minimal esters.

Taste. The initial impression is one of soft caramel and toasted bread crust, moving into a grainy and biscuity mid-palate. Light chocolate flavors emerge toward the end. Moderate bitterness balances the malt sweetness, leading to a dry finish with a light roasted grain character. Hop flavors are low to moderate, leaning towards resin and spice.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Moderate carbonation and a light, well-integrated alcohol warmth that reflects its 6% strength.
