This maple-infused Irish Red Ale offers a sophisticated sensory profile that elevates the traditional style through unique forest adjuncts. It presents a deep, reddish-copper hue and a bouquet of toasted malt and caramel. The addition of lactaire à odeur d’érable—a maple-scented milky cap mushroom—provides a distinctively earthy, woodland maple aroma that blends seamlessly with notes of toffee. On the palate, the earthy sweetness mimics the richness of maple syrup without cloying sugar, balanced by a grainy, biscuity malt base and a characteristic hint of roasted dryness. At 6% ABV, it delivers a smooth, warming finish that highlights its seasonal complexity.
Appearance.Medium reddish-copper and clear; crowned by a tan, medium-sized head with average persistence.
Aroma.Moderate malt intensity featuring aromas of toasted bread, caramel, and toffee. A unique, sweet, and earthy maple-like character from the lactaire à odeur d’érable is prominent, accompanied by very low floral hop notes and a clean fermentation profile.
Taste.Initial soft caramel and toffee sweetness is quickly joined by the woodland flavors of maple-scented mushroom. The palate is primarily grainy and biscuity, leading to a medium-dry finish with a light taste of roasted grain. Bitterness is medium-low, keeping the balance slightly toward the malt.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a smooth, slightly slick texture. Moderate carbonation and a light, well-integrated alcohol warmth consistent with its 6% ABV.
