Barwa jasno miedziana, niemal klarowne, piana w kolorze złamanej bieli, średnio obfita, średnio trwała.
W aromacie słodowe, karmelowe, opiekany tost.
W smaku półsłodkie, jest pewna podbudowa słodowa, aczkolwiek niezbyt intensywna, do tego subtelna kontra chmielowa w typie ziołowym.
Goryczka niska, wysycenie nieco za wysokie, ciało nieco za lekkie.
Ikona stylu nie dowozi.

For a macrobrewery and for the style, it is a aveage beer, watery, some malt, few hop, really nice orange and copper body, drinking it in our so called pub in Lausanne at some opportunities when I was younger. This kind of beer is nice during the summer.

Draft pours clear red topped with thick tan foam. Creamy mouthfeel with flavors of malt and bread, dry slightly bitter finish. Very nice!

Beautiful thick lasting head with dancing bubbles like a Guiness pour. Copper red color. Mild toasted malt and woody aroma. Leans bitter with a floral earthy hop bitterness. Caramel sweetness of an Irish red intensifies as the beer warms. Woody taste at the finish.

Singapore holiday - day 1/13, side-trip to Malaysia. At the Shamrock, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, a pint draught. Aroma: vaguely grassy, probably more aromatic served closer to room temperature. Appearance: clear, very handsome dark copper, one finger tan cream. Palate: light-bodied and slick, average carbonation; nice lingering malty finish. Taste: lightly sweet, loads of biscuit; very refreshing.

500ml widget can. thick nitro head. nice red color. not much going on with the aroma, just a big thick foam. flavour is pretty weak, and thin, and quite bitter in the finish. meh, pretty middle of the road on this one.
