Hoppy Red Ale

The classic Irish red ale is a subgenre of pale ale and takes its name from its beautiful chestnut red color It is impossible to say for sure who invented this style, but it is assumed that it has been around for more than seven centuries Various special malts are responsible for the strong red color: Traditionally, roasted malts and kilned malt are used, which look beautiful in the end product and provide a strong aroma with caramel, fruit and bread notes

Nowadays, this Irish beer style is no longer only brewed in Great Britain A successful variant comes from Ale-Mania, for example The Bonn-based company has ventured into a modern interpretation and refined its red ale with a load of American hops The Columbus, Cascade and Centennial varieties contribute fruity notes that go perfectly with the varied malt

Their Hoppy Red Ale flows into the glass in an opaque copper hue and is crowned with a fluffy cap of ivory-colored foam The aroma and taste present us with a bouquet of roasted malt, creamy toffee, roasted nuts, oven-fresh bread and homemade orange marmalade The hops complement the aroma with spicy pine notes, floral hints, forest herbs and a bitterness perfectly matched to the soft sweetness

A drinkable classic with a skillful hop kick and multi-layered character
