Eight Degrees Tasting Note ...

Caramel Malt and Bitter Orange.

Colour/Appearance - Pours a rich red colour with a light tan head. Aroma - Burnt caramel notes and a hint of hoppy citrus. Flavour - A modern twist on a traditional Irish style, the toasty caramel flavours are balanced with a soft hop bitterness. Think orange marmalade on toast. Aftertaste - Smooth and sweet with a balanced orange bitterness in the finish.

Food pairings - Serve with a cheese and charcuterie platter: there are enough hops here to stand up to sharp Hegarty’s cheddar cheese and cut through the richness of Gubbeen chorizo. Buttery, rich cheese, whether it has a bloomy rind – eg Cooleeney Farmhouse Cheese, Wicklow Baun – or a washed rind like Cais Rua work well here, the carbonation in the ale effectively cleaning the palate between each bite. Lamb – sweet and ever so slightly fatty – is also a good pairing. Match with a traditional Irish stew or make some lamb burgers, with lots of rosemary, and let the Sunburnt Irish Red shine through.
