Northwoods Irish Red Ale

Brewed by Northwoods Brew Pub
Style: Irish Ale
Eau Claire, Wisconsin USA

On tap at the Chetek location. Light coppor color with faint hop nose. Crisp flavor with light malts and very faint hops; watery.

On tap at both Chetek and Eau Claire, WI brewpub locations. Pours a light penny copper brew with a barely thin white head. Hardly any lacing. Aroma is a clean glass, maybe a hint of malt but no hops. Nothing more. Darn, we tried to get a whiff of something of ten to eleven minutes of trying. We even tried it outside on the Chetek tavern porch to get something. We could smell only the white pines off Pokegama Lake but no hops in the beer. We simply gave up. Taste is highly carbonated, very watery and a little malt taste. Finish is clean with nothing to remember the beer by. Nice try but hopefully next year’s batch could maybe have some hops added.
