Reviewed from notes.
The appearance was a sturdy semi-dark red color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that slid off pretty quick. Not much lace.
The aroma had some earthy hops playing with some grassiness. Light floral to herbal sort of quality about it. Sweet wood and a bit of caramel/toffee maltiness. Some biscuits. Sweet estery fruits.
The flavor guided the sweetness to round out the prior mentioned aromas together and bring about the herbal to grassy low hop quality rolling all about. No aftertaste. Finish brought together the malts and the low hop quality in fairly nice.
The palate was about medium bodied with a good sessionability about it. Low carbonation and a good ABV.
Overall, well done Irish red ale that Banded Horn did, I’d have again.
