Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for George Killian's Irish Red
◎ Appearance
A clear red-amber body, deriving its colour from caramel-kilned malts without any added colouring agents. The head is notably creamy and persistent, clinging to the glass with visible lacing. Carbonation appears moderate and well-integrated.
◌ Aroma
The nose leads with toasted caramel and sweet malt notes, providing an inviting foundation. Light bread aromas emerge in the mid-range, with a faint fruity undertone that adds subtle complexity without dominating. The overall impression is warm and grain-forward.
◐ Taste
The palate is decidedly malt-centric, with a soft, nutty character developing across the mid-palate. Bitterness remains mild and well-restrained, allowing the malt sweetness to persist. The texture is smooth, supported by the creamy carbonation.
◑ Finish
The finish is moderately dry, cleanly shedding the initial sweetness without harshness. A lingering grain and nuttiness remains in the aftertaste, providing a measured conclusion.
