The Burren Red with its great red colour is a spicy, slightly sweet ale which even features a hint of smoke. It seems to become the favourite among the punters at the Roadside!

On draft at the pub. Nice balanced nose on this, some hay and freshly baked bread along with some floral hop notes. Lovely round full mouthfeel. Taste of digestives, bread along with hoppy bitterness. Well balanced ale.

Served on tap into a UK pint glass at the Roadside Tavern, the only outlet for this beer, Lisdoonvarna Co Clare, Eire - Jan ’12. Worth also noting that at the date of review (Jan ’12) it is only available on tap and no bottling takes place. They are a friendly bunch and whilst I didn’t broach the subject I’m sure they’d be more than hapy to fill a growler or some form of recepticle for you! Pours a ruby colour verging on copper with a decent half finger of white head that maintained itself well throughout drinking. Vanilla was the main aroma with a little bubblegum and fruit coming off as well. Sweet malts and sugars in the taste, light caramel flavour and a little vanilla but nowhere near as much as the smell! Pleasant mouthfeel fairly smooth, rich and creamy, massaging the throat with beery goodness as it went inside, lots of lacing in the glass throughout drinking. small amount of carbonation, but hardly noticeable. One thing to point out (along with all the Burren beers), they didn’t detail the ABV on the pump clips and admitted to tweaking production slightly, ’as and when’, so certain batches come out stronger than others! The younger barman reckoned this batch was mid 5% ABV’s but has been well into the 6’s! Good stuff ABV mystery aside!
