Commercial Description:
This beer is a traditional Irish Red Ale inspired by the savage beauty of western Ireland and its friendly people. It has a deep amber, ruby color and a rich, smooth malt character. Notes of caramel and toasted malt persist. Tales of appearances of fairies and leprechauns abound in the mountains of the Connemara, so who knows what will happen after enjoying a pint of this magical brew.

Excellent! The cloudy dark brown color is inviting, and the aroma is decidedly ale-ish and smoky. Flavor is mild and free of bitterness, but vivid and with smoky and nutty undertones. Smooth as a baby’s cheek, this is a delightfully drinkable ale, the sort that you sip.
