Irish Red Ale 4.5 º

Whitewater

Whitewater Belfast Ale is a classic Irish Red Ale presenting a striking russet hue derived from the inclusion of roasted barley. The aroma is defined by a low to moderate malt sweetness, offering hints of toffee and toasted grain. On the palate, a gentle fruitiness develops, supported by the creamy mouthfeel provided by Torrified wheat. This rich malt character is balanced by a subtle earthy hop presence, which transitions into a characteristically dry finish. The roasted barley imparts a slight grainy bitterness at the end, ensuring a smooth, succulent drinking experience that remains clean and exceptionally well-balanced for the style.

Appearance. Medium reddish-copper to russet color (12-14 SRM). Brilliant clarity with a dense, off-white to light tan head showing good persistence and fine lacing.

Aroma. Moderate malt intensity with prominent notes of toasted grain, light toffee, and a biscuity character. Very low earthy hop aroma and a subtle dark fruit ester profile. Clean fermentation with no diacetyl.

Taste. Initial soft caramel and toffee malt sweetness. The mid-palate shifts toward neutral grain and toasted bread flavors. Moderate-low bitterness is complemented by a light touch of roasted grain, which provides a characteristically dry and clean finish. Low earthy hop flavor is present in the background.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a notable smoothness and light creaminess from the Torrified wheat. Moderate carbonation and a clean, non-astringent mouthfeel with no alcohol warmth.
