Irish Red Ale

Irish Red Ale is a malt-focused beer with a distinctive reddish color derived from a small amount of roasted barley. It features a smooth, caramel-like sweetness balanced by moderate hop bitterness, with traditional versions exhibiting toasty, toffee notes and a clean finish. Originating in Ireland, this style is typically brewed with pale malts, roasted barley, and crystal malts, with English hops providing subtle earthy balance.
