Irish Red Ale 5 º 20 IBU

Le Ketch

Le Ketch Renard is a refined Irish Red Ale that emphasizes a rounded, malt-forward character. This deep reddish-copper ale presents an inviting profile defined by prominent caramel accents, as highlighted by the brewer’s intent for a round and substantial experience. The aroma is clean and inviting, balancing toasted grain with light toffee notes. On the palate, a soft initial sweetness transitions into a biscuity mid-palate, eventually yielding to a characteristic dry finish provided by a touch of roasted grain. This balance ensures high drinkability while maintaining a rich, flavorful presence that honors the style’s traditional copper-hued roots.

Appearance. Medium reddish-copper color (approximately 13 SRM) with brilliant clarity. It features a low, off-white to light tan head with average persistence and light lacing.

Aroma. Moderate malt intensity featuring clear notes of caramel, toasted bread, and a hint of toffee. Hop aroma is low and earthy, while the fermentation profile remains exceptionally clean with negligible esters.

Taste. Initial impression of smooth caramel sweetness and toasted malt. The mid-palate is fairly neutral and grainy with a light biscuity quality. It finishes moderately dry with a subtle hint of roasted grain dryness. Bitterness is medium-low, providing just enough balance against the malt without becoming aggressive.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly round texture. Moderate carbonation provides a gentle prickle, while the finish is smooth with no noticeable alcohol warmth or astringency.
