Goodgrief (993), Middletown, Delaware, USA Apr 14, 2008 Hey, I liked it! Copper pour with generous head and lacing all over the place. Faint aroma of copper metal. The flavor started with a metallic twinge until proper warming. Caramel malts over a faint earthy teabag sweetness with a pleasant butteriness balanced out a good hop kick to the finish. I have to say, this was good stuff
mdm46410 (514), Griffith, Indiana, USA Jul 17, 2008 Poured from a 12oz bottle and served in a Guinness pint glass. This beer poured a slightly hazy copper red with a lasting head of creamy beige foam. A good amount of thick lacing was left around the glass. The aroma of the beer was made up of chewy caramel, bread, and a hint of dark fruit. Nice and malty. The flavor included caramel, toasted bread, a light note of fruit, and a faint trace of metal in the finish. Just a hint of hop bitterness at the end. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied with moderate carbonation. Really not too bad for an Irish ale. gkao007 (17), Jersey City, New Jersey, USA Jul 14, 2008 It could be just me, but I did not find anything significant with this beer.
I may need to drink more Irish Reds to better my palate but for the time being, I am not very impressed.
mwsmith (12), , Alabama, USA Jul 14, 2008 There are other reds in the world that will give you more pleasure. However, if it’s July 4th and you’re craving a good American Red, tackle this one. thornecb (973), Marblehead, Massachusetts, USA Jul 13, 2008 Pours red into a shaker. Caramel malt aromas. Full, soft caramel from front to back with a slight hop finish. arventresca (121), Greenville, North Carolina, USA Jul 12, 2008 Bottle. Pours red. Taste like cheap macro crap. Smells the same. Sorry Sammy, you should produce a better Irish if you want to be considered a good beer.
