This Irish Red Ale presents a deep ruby hue that lives up to its name, offering a profile centered on rich maltiness and a distinct fruity ester character. The aroma is dominated by toasted biscuit and soft toffee, complemented by the subtle earthy and floral nuances of East Kent Goldlings hops. On the palate, a gentle caramel sweetness is balanced by a clean bitterness from Galena hops, leading into a grainy, slightly roasted dryness. It is an approachable, well-attenuated ale where the malt-forward complexity is brightened by moderate fruity notes, finishing with a smooth, lingering touch of scorched grain.
