Irish Red Ale 4.2 º 33 IBU

Porterhouse

This Irish Red Ale presents a vibrant, transparent reddish hue beneath a persistent, tan head. Utilizing a complex grist of Pale ALE Malt, Crystal malt, Wheat Malt, and a touch of Black Malt, it balances soft toffee sweetness with a distinctive roasted dryness. The addition of Galena, Nugget, and East Kent Goldings hops provides a refreshing, moderate bitterness and earthy undertones that counter the malt’s caramel core. Joyful notes of forest fruits emerge early, leading into a clean, crisp finish. It avoids the cloying sweetness of many commercial examples, prioritizing a fresh, aromatic, and superbly balanced drinking experience.

Appearance. Medium reddish-copper with high clarity. Crowned by a consistent, long-lasting off-white to light tan head with average persistence and fine lacing.

Aroma. Moderate intensity with a backbone of toasted grain and soft caramel. Very low earthy and floral hop character. Clean fermentation profile with a subtle, ester-driven hint of dark forest fruits.

Taste. Initial impression of soft caramel and biscuity malt sweetness, followed by a light roasted grain dryness. Hop flavor is low and earthy. Moderate bitterness provides a refreshing counterpoint to the malt. The finish is medium-dry and clean, with a lingering touch of roasted character and residual fruitiness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Moderate carbonation. No perceptible alcohol warmth, finishing clean without astringency.
