Alpine Beer Company McIlhenneys Irish Red

22oz bottle from toncatcher. thanks!.... amber reddish brown pour with a thin quickly dissipating light beige head.... a nce aroma of sweet toffee, chocolate, and roast up front..... flavors remain consistent with caramel malt and chocolate (but to a lesser extent). some spicy sourness follows it up which didn’t quite mesh as well. lively and tingley carbonation.

Bottle from South Bay Drug. Rich red color with a decent off-white head. Aroma is floral hop and? Rather thin body with mild carbonation. Flavor is almost flavored water - but it is really better than that. It’s just all rather mild. Mild caramel, mild hop. It goes down readily. It finishes clean and balanced. It just lacks character. Good drink, but not a great drink. The color is great though.

I got a lot of flowery and soapy flavors, probably from the hops. I was hopping to get more caramelly flavors and some roastiness. Its spiced up and has tu much hops for the style. Its a bit watery too.

Light mahogany pour with a nice initial one finger head, turns thin after two minutes. Nose is spiced bread, dried apricots, and a touch of sour. Mouthfeel is bubbly and medium bodied. Flavor is malt, cinnamon. Almost feels like this beer could be infected, but not quite. Some hops on the finish. Eh.
