Xantina Café Red Coffee
Red Ale 5.9 º
This Irish Red Ale presents a vibrant fusion of traditional malt character and urban coffee culture. The sensory journey begins with an inviting aroma of lightly toasted grain and sweet toffee, layered with the bold, earthy scent of freshly roasted coffee beans. On the palate, initial notes of caramel and biscuit provide a soft sweetness that quickly gives way to a dry, roasted finish. The coffee addition amplifies the signature roasted barley snap of the style, lending nuances of dark chocolate and espresso. It is medium-bodied and smooth, balancing delicate earthy hops with a clean fermentation profile for a refreshing yet complex experience.
Appearance. Medium reddish-copper with brilliant clarity. Pours with a persistent, tan-colored head that leaves moderate lacing on the glass.
Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring a clean malt profile of toasted bread and light toffee. The coffee addition provides a distinct layer of roasted beans and dark cocoa. Hop aroma is very low and earthy, while fermentation remains clean with negligible esters.
Taste. Initial soft toffee and caramel malt sweetness transitions into a grainy, biscuity mid-palate. The finish is characterized by a distinctive roasted dryness, enhanced by the coffee’s natural bitterness and a touch of roasted grain. Hop bitterness is medium-low, providing just enough balance against the malt. Aftertaste is clean and dry with lingering notes of cold-brew coffee.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate. A very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, consistent with its 5.9% ABV.
