Irish Red Ale

As the name promises, this ale pours a dark amber, red colour. And there are no prizes for guessing that this one is all about the malt. With shepherd’s delight, red back and english ale malts all appearing in large doses, there is no shortage of complexity to this malt profile. Fermenting this out with a clean ale yeast and an extended cold conditioning period, ensures a nice yeast profile without any off-flavours overpowering the hero of this beer, the malt. Gentle hopping with the German hop hallertau, gives it a very mild level of bitterness which adds to the roasty, biscuity flavours of those specialty malts.
