Red Jewel

◎ Appearance

Red Jewel presents a hazy, light ruby body that catches the eye with gentle luminosity. The haziness speaks to the wheat and oat additions, while the color reflects the balance of Red X and honey malt tempered by subtle roasted barley. Head retention is moderate, with fine white foam that clings to the glass.

◌ Aroma

Nelson Sauvin and experimental New Zealand hop varieties lead with bright white grape and gooseberry notes, layered over a foundation of caramel and toast from the Malz bill. Faint dark-fruit character emerges beneath, while honey malt adds a soft, rounded sweetness to the bouquet. The overall impression is fresh and approachable, neither aggressive nor muted.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with soft caramel and toasted cereal notes, followed by citrus brightness from the hops that dances across the mid-palate. Wheat and oats deliver a velvety, smooth mouthfeel, while honey malt and a whisper of dark fruit sustain the sweetness. At 24 IBU, bitterness is restrained, allowing the malt character to remain prominent without cloying.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with lingering honeyed malt and a faint citrus edge. Aftertaste fades gracefully without harshness, leaving a pleasant memory of stone fruit and white-grape sweetness.
