A voluptuous traditional Irish Red Ale, this is a rewarding drink that makes real fans of many of those who, trying it for the first time, are taken by its unique and individual strength of flavour. It is a superb example of a uniquely Irish brewing style which blends the dry smokiness of Irish stout with the warmth of a bitter ale - and what a colour!

[Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading] Reddish amber with a moderate white head. Toffee, fudge, stewed apple and (oddly) tomato juice, with a rather metallic bitterness to finish. It’s got a nice smooth creamy mouthfeel, but the flavours are rather muted. Not great.

Cask at the Cleveland Arms, London. Pours clear amber with a fine, frothy off-white head. Bready malts in the nose, faint toast and fruity sugars. Light to medium sweet flavor with lots of simple, bready malts, light dryness, some orange citrus, faint toffee. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet finish with mellow, leafy bitterness, nips of dry toffee, dry andtoasty bread. Simple, fine.

Depp ruby in colour, it is fruit dominated in taste and aroma, but both are mild in character and are in the ’wild’ category as oppose to ’tropical’ fruit styles.

Spoons Fest.Clear dark amber beer. Semi dry palate. Just a little soft. Low carbonation. Light, almost creamy malt blending in to sweetish fruits - orange and peach. A little bubblegum. Dry malt finish. Not bad at all.

Cask, JDW, West Kirby. Dark copper colour with a lingering medium sized creamy off white head. Fruity aroma, fairly understated. Sweetish flavour that had a caramel malt spine with redcurrant and raisin notes. Gently bitter finish. Reasonable enough stuff.

Cask-conditioned at the Lloyds No 1, Bristol 18/11/09. Reddish-amber with a slight white head. Malty aroma, with a hint of earthy roastiness. Flavour had some sweetish malts, nuttiness and a dry finish. Good.
