Red Breast

◎ Appearance

Red Breast presents a chestnut-red hue derived from naturally coloured malt, displaying excellent clarity beneath a persistent white head. The colour sits comfortably between amber and deep red, with good carbonation evident in steady bubble streams. Head retention is firm, leaving distinct lacing on the glass as you drink.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with ripe orchard fruit notes—apple and stone fruit—layered over a subtle spice character that suggests clove and pepper. Beneath these brighter notes sits a solid Malz foundation with hints of caramel sweetness, while the English whole cone hops contribute a gentle, earthy undertone without aggressive herbalism.

◐ Taste

The palate is full and well-rounded, opening with fruity malt character that carries caramel notes through the mid-palate. A gentle spice element adds complexity without dominating, while the 28 IBU bittering hops provide structured, balanced restraint rather than punch. The body remains smooth and warming, with the bitterness emerging cleanly on the swallow.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately long, leaving a gently drying bitterness that gradually fades to a subtle spice and fruit aftertaste. The warming character persists without heat, characteristic of the session-strength winter ale format.
