Our first beer from the revived Sullivan’s Brewing Company is Maltings Irish Red Ale. It’s a refreshingly balanced, ruby tinted classic Irish ale with a depth of malt flavour giving rich biscuit and gentle caramel notes.

Ruby colour, medium-sized beige head. A bit bready, caramelly aroma. Light to medium-bodied. Caramalty, some light hoppy bitterness. Maltier than Kilkenny's one. You probably guess how this tastes before trying it.

Bottle 50cl. @home poured into a pint glass. Clear briljant deep amber colour, good frothy beige head, slowly diminishing, light lacing. Aroma roasted malt, caramel, dark fruits, prunes, grassy hops. Taste medium sweet and bitter, malty, light yet present roast, caramel, hint fortified wine. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation, malty sweetbitter aftertaste, lingering roasty nuances, some coffee groundings, very nice.

On tap at Haka, pours a clear dark amber red with a small beige head. Aroma has soft dry bready malt and a pronounced English malt character. Flavour is dry, with plenty of bready malt and some earthiness. Bready, earthy, lightly sweet malty finish. Okay.

500ml bottle @ Belgian Beer Geeks Autumn Gathering 2025. Pours a clear ruby amber, off-white head. Good quencher.. nice and light.. light caramelised tint, bready malt with distant dried fruit suggestions. Should really be drunk by the pint to fully appreciate but a nice break from the stouts.
