Moccasin Bend All Saints Red Irish Ale

Brewed by Moccasin Bend Brewing Co.
Style: Irish Ale
Chattanooga, Tennessee USA

Pours deep red with a nice off-white head. Aroma of toasted malt, sweet malt, and mild hops. Taste is similar with lots of toasted and sweet malt, some light fruit, and a light bittering hop. Mouth is average and a little carbonated. Overall, a decent ale.

Sightly hazed copper pour with tan head and lace. Sweet malt and earthy hop aroma. Coffee, toffee, sweet caramel, with a light bitter. Medium bodied with decent carbonation. Another nice beer.

Appearance: Pours up a dark, reddish-brown body with a very tall, very foamy, light khaki-colored head. Smell: Malts bring forth some notes of toasted, sugary caramel, and humble grains. Marked by some particularly ripe fruit hints. Taste: Moderately sweet amber malts tasting of toasted bread crusts and grains. Hint of ripe fruitiness. Very mild hop character and imparted bitterness. Drying, earthy finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: An acceptable Irish Ale from good ole Moccasin Bend!
