Commercial Description:
Ireland's first and last Ard Ri (high king) of the whole Gaelic race, Brian Boru was born in Munster Ireland around 940. His mother was killed by Vikings when he was a child. He spent his life uniting the Irish tribes to become the first king of Ireland, only to be killed at Clontarf on Good Friday, 1014 putting down a rebellion by the King of the province of Leinster. Brian Boru Irish Brand Red Ale is a very rich caramelly ale with toffee, citrus, and pineapple aroma. Brian Boru is brewed with several malts and Amarillo hops. Slainte!

Dark reddish brown body and a short-lived beige head. Floral hop aroma with a bit of caramel malt, sugar, and a little fruit. Initial flavor of hops, faint taste of tea and faint maltiness; fades to a dry roasted malt. Aftertaste is nice blend of dry roasted malt and floral hops

Great redish-brown body with a minimal head. Nice hoppy, fruitish aroma, some very minimal malts. A somewhat tea like taste, in fact... very tea like. Some light fruits in the taste as well. Nice clean ending. A very enjoyable Irish Ale.

Pours a hazy reddish amber with an almost non-existant yellow-brown head. Strong malty aroma with lots of floral hops. Sweet bitter taste - initially malty with a good hoppy bite. Medium thick body.

Bomber. Reddish amber pour, big beige head. Typical floral hopped up 3F nose, some malty brown sugar notes. Malty backbone, some sweet fruity notes, a slight whiskylike tinge, and again, the 3F bitter hoppy finish. Good, but not overly exciting.

Just got this beer in today. This thing is like every other 3F beer---One Hoppy SOB! The nose is so hoppy it’s insane. the ruby red beer gives way to a snow white head. The first taste is very clean, sturdy, strong hops, with a good malt back. Not at all metallic like other Red’s I’ve had, this one has a rye taste to it almost. The mouthfeel is a bit bitey in the beginning, but it finishes smoother. Of course, after that whole bomber, everything goes smooth. Slainte

Thanks to Immy for finding this one! Pours a deep ruby red with small tan head. Nose is of a hearty, sweet malt with signature 3F floral hop nose. Flavor follows nose. I liken this to a malty Alpha King.

(Bottle) dy Pours a deep amber body with a moderate beige head. Aroma of grapefruit, spruce, breadiness, and toffee. Flavor of hops, caramel, malt, and a touch of cocoa. A bit of chaulkiness in the finish.

Start with a great lable, and when you open it and pour it doesn’t disappoint. It’s a great looking amber and it has a sweet smell. It pours with a nice blonde head, which is kind of ironic for a red. The taste starts sweet with a faint hint of hops and finishes smooth. Another great beer from 3 floyds
