Monteith's Brewing has crafted a captivating Irish Red Ale with their Celtic Red. This beer boasts a dark gold color with a creamy off-white head, offering a delightful visual appeal. The aroma is a harmonious blend of rich malty notes, including toffee, caramel, and biscuit, balanced by hints of fruity red berries, plums, and floral hops. The taste opens with a burst of sweet maltiness, followed by a surge of caramel and toffee flavors. The fruity esters and gentle hop bitterness provide a complex and well-balanced profile. Hints of cocoa and dark chocolate emerge in the mid-palate, adding depth and richness to the experience. Monteith's Celtic Red is medium-bodied with a smooth, velvety texture and a lingering caramel sweetness. The subtle bitterness adds a dry finish, leaving a clean and refreshing aftertaste. Crafted with pure New Zealand alpine spring water and a blend of pale, crystal, and caramel malts, as well as Pacific hops, this Irish Red Ale is a true delight for the senses.
