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.

7th Sep 2019, part of a three beer flight in the Porterhouse, Temple Bar, Dublin. Red hue to it's colour, off-white head. Fruit and caramel in the aroma and taste, not as sweet as most 'Irish Reds' and a little more bitter in it's finish.

A reddish brown beer, a head is quite small and blond. Aroma has strong caramel, some wood and fruitness. Taste is quite sweet and caramel, then also bitterness and saltyness (as like in the Oyster Stout). Almost medium bodied. Decent.

Draft at the source. Deep red with a creamy, off white head. Taste is bittersweet, malty. A touch of tea and caramel in the aftertaste. Light bodied. Dry. Okayish.
