Thomond Red Ale

◎ Aussehen

Deep ruby red, bordering on brown, presenting a dense and persistent head. The beer displays excellent clarity with a warm, glowing translucence when held to light. Fine carbonation supports a tight, clinging lace that adheres to the glass throughout the pour.

◌ Aroma

Noble hops contribute a honeyed, earthy character that frames the nose without dominance. Roasted specialty malts introduce subtle cocoa and caramel notes, with a gentle toasted grain foundation. The overall impression is balanced and inviting, free from harsh alcohol vapors despite the moderate strength.

◐ Geschmack

Bold maltiness drives the palate, with pronounced caramel flavour at the centre and a supporting sweetness that remains restrained. A light roasted character adds complexity without bitterness. The 28 IBU provides structure and prevents cloying, while noble hops deliver a subtle earthiness that carries through the mid-palate.

◑ Abgang

The finish is notably smooth and decidedly dry, with residual caramel notes fading into a clean, earthy hop signature. Moderate length and absence of astringency leave the palate refreshed rather than fatigued.
