Mishawaka Four Horsemen Ale

Brewed by Mishawaka Brewing Company
Style: Irish Ale
Mishawaka, Indiana USA

Bottle: Red in color with a monster off white head. Aroma, a stanky caramel, yeasty, some fruits. Flavor, sour, caramel, apples, some tartness, lemon. Either it’s infected or it’s the best Irish Style Lambic I’ve ever had.

Bottle from Chalet Party Shoppe in Goshen, IN. Pours dark copper with a gushing khaki head , that retained well after it settled down. Aroma of fruity yeast esters and bready malt. Flavor is very sour, and really overpowers everything else. This must be an infected bottle. If not, it is a poor example of an Irish ale.

Bottle thanks to BBB63. Pours cloudy orange/copper with a small head. Fair lacing. Aroma of tasted grains, brown sugar and a little grassy hops. A little bit a sourness in the taste. Yeast, maybe? Don’t know if this belongs.

Decent Irish Ale from my neck of the woods. Pours a deep-red/amber color with so-so white head and min. lacing. I can only pick up on a very concentrated pineapple scent. Not a trace of hops or malt. Pretty thin and flavors consist of mild hops, malt and some mild fruit. Not a bad brew, just not great. Best part about it is the name/label. GO IRISH

Pours rootbeer brown w/ a short lived, semi creamy froth. Aroma of water biscuits, veggies, and bakers cocoa. Medium nectar w/ ample residual effers. Flavors of cocoa, , biscuits, roasted coffee bean, nuts, and sour leather. The flavors really come out as it warms. The finish is bittered perfectly. A good specimen.

12oz - Aroma is very malty with wet bread dough, dry grass, and a touch of hops. Pours dark red with a medium lasting head and great lacing. Flavor is bland and metallic. Very malty with a touch of caramel. Palate is thin. Not so great, but nothing offensive.

Bottle. Moderately sweet aroma with notes of caramel and fruit flesh. Red-copper pour with a fluffy, lacing, beautifully rocky tan head. Rather dry earthy taste, malty and creamy with a woody sourness I haven’t tasted in months. Medium body is a shade off of oily. Love the strange light hoppiness. Good to style, and tasty for that woodsy sourness, but not terribly exciting.

12oz bottle acquired in trade. Poured a medium orange color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of caramel, earthy, citrus and I was getting almost a pepperiness out of it. Tastes of citrus (I was getting orange peels) and caramel. Had a light sour finish.
