Dominion Irish Red Ale

Draft-Brian Boru; Severna Park, Md.-They are selling this as one of their Galway Bay "House Brands" @ this new Irish Pub. Poured a copper red color w/a slight white hear. Slight malt aroma. Decent Irish/Amber Ale, had some malt flavor to it w/traces of bread dough & roasted almonds. Nothing special, I would probibly order a Yuengling next time. Slight metalic aftertaste.

on tap-pours a thin off white head and dark copper color. Aroma is faint medium malt, hops crispness. Taste is medium malt-roasty/some chocolate, secondary hops bitterness. Crisp. Good carbonation.

Draft at Greenleafe. Ruby brownish pour with aroma of cereally malty, some cabernet, and some brown sugary and tannic notes. Medium bodied with flavors of malt, slight fruity cabernet notes, and some fruit and slight hops.

Virginia Beer Fest 2007. Clear reddish brown body with a small white head. Sweet malty but grain aroma. Sweet grainy malt flavor.

Virginia Beer Festival. Redish hue, with a thin whiteish head. Aroma is a little fruity, with some malts and a touch of hops. Flavor is pretty malty. Finish is pretty dry.

On tap at the brewpub, RBSG 2006. A reddish beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has strong notes of berries - especially cowberries, but also light notes of strawberries. The flavor is sweet metalic with a weird note of berries, leading to a dry and slightly bitter end. Not to my liking.

[GABF, Denver Co - 2006] Ruby caramel in color, light head. Fruity malty nose with malt and light hops, the flavor is sweet and bitter and very balanced. This was a very nice beer.
