Cask Cream-coloured reddish tinted head, very voluptuous (cask!) ver reddish amber beer. Flowery nose, some natural fruitsugars obvious. Bitterish, bitter almonds flavour. Almondy flavour too pronounced - the rosehips? Quite creamy texture - especially with the head so tenacious! One flavour too overpowering - more’s the pity, as a subtle flavour of rosehips is usually great in beer.

At a tasting, thanks, medium quickly dissapearing bubbly creamy head, brown color with some red hues, aroma of toasted bread, banana and some smokey notes, smokey bready flavor with some vanila and light charred notes. Good and a bit different

Bottle sample at a tasting at Max’s place. Thanks Tom L. Brown. Aroma of malt, caramel, a bit of smokiness, fruity esters, and a bit of spiciness. Sweet flavor with caramel, nice smokiness, fruity esters, and a bit of spiciness. Medium-bodied.

Deep red to brown pour into the pint glass. Minimal off white head that sticks around throughout. Some soapy lacing on the glass. Bready, biscuity aroma, some mild resin. Taste is very traditional Irish Red Ale, bready, cereal, some floral hop bitterness. Nice session ale.
