Red Ale 5.8 º 12 IBU

Stadshaven Brouwerij

This contemporary take on an Irish Red Ale marries traditional malt depth with vibrant, modern infusions of lime and lychee. A base of lightly toasted malts provides a foundation of soft caramel and biscuity grain, characteristic of the style but bolstered by a slightly higher 5.8% ABV. The addition of lime peel and lychee fruit introduces a refreshing, tropical citrus top note that provides a bright contrast to the malt sweetness. It retains the signature dry finish and subtle roasted grain bitterness expected of the style, while maintaining a clean fermentation profile that allows the unique botanical additions to harmonize with a gentle, earthy hop presence.

Appearance. Medium reddish-copper with brilliant clarity. Pours with a low, off-white to light tan head with average persistence and light lacing.

Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring a base of toasted grain and light caramel. The aroma is distinctly accented by zesty lime and floral, sweet lychee notes. Hop character is low and earthy, while the fermentation profile is quite clean.

Taste. Initial impression of soft caramel and toffee sweetness followed by a grainy, biscuity malt palate. Mid-palate reveals bright lime citrus and exotic lychee flavors. Bitterness is medium-low, enhanced slightly by a touch of roasted grain dryness in the finish. The balance is slightly malt-forward but refreshed by fruit aromatics. Clean, medium-dry finish.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with moderate carbonation. Smooth and slightly crisp due to the citrus influence. Light, well-integrated alcohol warmth.
