Irish red ales? Yes, we know. Sweet, a bit cloying and, well, no thanks. So, it was brave of us (we say bravely) to put the words “red ale” after our own moniker. Why the hell would we do that? Because this is a real red ale, an ale to conjure with that happens to be reddish in colour. More importantly, it’s exuberantly, joyfully fruity with a bit of malty caramel.

Bottled, from The Drink Store, Dublin. Clear amber, huge firm head. Roasty and fruity. Light bodied with clean, rounded mouthfeel, slight notes of peat and ripe fruits. Light spicy bitterness.

Malty barley nose. Amber color, medium head, good lacing. Tart malt and full of flavor. It’s not exotic, but it isn’t supposed to be. What it is is a well crafted and made irish red.

tap - Pours clear amber with a lasting frothy head. It has a light, toasty aroma. The flavor is of toasted caramel malt with a solid hops bite. It’s medium bodied and pretty enjoyable.

Bottle. Pours a light red with a fine, white head. Holds a faintly sweet malt aroma with some earthy hops. Light caramel notes in the flavor, some sweetness, slightly bitter. Light to medium in body, average carbonation. Pretty nice.

On tap at The Wharf, Aalborg. As Red Connelly. It’s a clear, copper-colored beer topped by a nitro-looking creamy, finger-thick off-white head. The aroma has a little sour hint, with caramel and nutty hint. Faint citrusy hops. Caramel maltyness, quite sweet flavor with a decent bitterness to bring it to balance. Smooth, medium mouthfeel. Short fruity finish with pleasant bitterness. Drinks easy but is very boring. 091025

Draught at the Temple Bar Brewpub. Fruity, chewy, with great malt, bubblegum flavors and just the right sweetness. Ok, maybe it’s a little too sweet. Good caramel and grains. Very nice. Maybe a touch behind Maguire’s, though.
