Conor ONeills Kerry Irish Red

Brewed by Conor ONeills Traditional Irish Pub
Style: Irish Ale
Fort Collins, Colorado USA

Draught, Ft. Collins. Head is mostly lasting. Body is dark amber. Aroma is moderately malty (toasted grain), lightly hoppy (apricot). Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation.

Very similar in color to Craic; less lace/head, though. Pretty big sweetness -- light roast, curious caramel (hint of sugary Boston baked beans), and some chalky cocoa. Very mild bitterness (not enough, IMO, to balance the sweetness). Some sweet bread dough and a bit o’ herbs. Decent beer, but sweetness was a little droning.
