Irish Red Ale 4.5 º

McCrackens

McCrackens Red presents as a quintessential Irish Red Ale, prioritizing approachable malt complexity and a refreshing finish. The sensory experience is defined by a curated blend of kilned malts that impart soft layers of toasted biscuit and malted caramel sweetness. While the initial palate is gentle and sweet, it transitions seamlessly into a characteristic grainy dryness, aided by a faint hint of roasted grain. Delicate earthy hop notes provide a balanced counterpoint to the rich toffee undertones. This medium-bodied ale remains exceptionally clean and easy to drink, making it a polished example of the style that balances malt warmth with a crisp, inviting character.

Appearance. Medium amber to medium reddish-copper color (10-14 SRM). Brilliant clarity with a low, off-white to tan colored head showing average persistence.

Aroma. Moderate intensity with a clean, grainy malt character and notes of light caramel and toffee. Very low earthy hop aroma with a clean fermentation profile and minimal esters.

Taste. Initial soft caramel malt flavor and toffee-like sweetness, leading into a neutral, grainy, and biscuity mid-palate. Hop bitterness is medium-low, providing a balance that favors the malt. The finish is characterized by a light taste of roasted grain, lending a distinctive dryness to the clean, smooth aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light to medium body with a smooth, velvety texture. Moderate carbonation provides a refreshing lift without being sharp. No perceptible alcohol warmth.
