This Irish Red Ale showcases a sophisticated interplay between heritage malt character and a modern hop touch. Pouring a clear, deep amber, it opens with a moderate aroma of toasted grains and soft toffee. The brewery's use of roasted malt provides a signature dry finish that cuts through the initial caramel sweetness. While remaining true to its roots, the fresh hop character adds a subtle floral lift that distinguishes it from more traditional, purely malt-forward examples. Smooth and incredibly well-balanced, the palate transitions from biscuity richness to a clean, slightly roasted dryness, making for a highly approachable and refreshing pint.
Appearance.Medium amber with reddish-copper highlights; brilliant clarity. Topped by a low, off-white head with average persistence and fine lacing.
Aroma.Moderate intensity featuring notes of toasted bread and light caramel. A faint, earthy and floral fresh hop character provides a clean top note, supported by a neutral-grainy malt base and very low yeast esters.
Taste.Initial soft caramel and toffee sweetness gives way to a grainy-biscuity mid-palate. Light roasted grain flavors emerge toward the end, providing a characteristic dryness. Hop bitterness is medium-low, balancing the malt without lingering. The finish is clean and smooth with a light touch of roasted grain.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with a smooth texture. Moderate carbonation provides a gentle prickle on the tongue. No perceived alcohol warmth.
