Sunburnt

◎ Appearance

Sunburnt presents a rich red hue with excellent clarity and a light tan head that settles into fine lacing around the glass. The color sits squarely in the classic Irish red range, suggesting balanced caramel Malz without excessive roasting. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, supporting a stable foam collar.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent burnt caramel and toasted Malz notes that define the beer's character. Loral and Cascade hops contribute a restrained citrus accent—fresh and slightly zesty without dominating the malt-forward profile. The overall aromatic impression is warm and approachable, with no harsh or astringent edges.

◐ Taste

The palate delivers toasted caramel Malz in the front, followed by a well-integrated bitter orange character reminiscent of orange marmalade on buttered toast. The bitterness (28 IBU) sits comfortably in the mid-palate without overwhelming the sweetness, creating a pleasant tension between malt and hop. Body is smooth and medium, allowing each flavor component to remain distinct.

◑ Finish

The finish is smooth and carries the orange-tinged bitterness forward, providing subtle complexity without lingering harshness. A gentle sweetness from the Malz persists into the aftertaste, keeping the beer approachable and sessionable.
