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.

On tap at Craft Room, Opatovina, Zagreb. Amber to ruby red, small tan creamy head. Light fruity, sour fruit, malty background, faint aroma. Creamy, light, soft carbonation. Refreshing, but empty. Watery texture. Nothing special.

Review based on the BJCP2015 guidelines (style 15A). Bottle 33 cl - Batch unknown. AROMA: moderate-low malt aroma with caramelly notes and slight diacetyl. clean fermentation profile and no hops discernible. APPEARANCE: dark ambar to reddish copper. translucent. low beige head with average retention. TASTE: very little caramel flavour with a roasted presence. medium-low bitterness with a dry and somewhat roasted finish. clean fermentation profile. PALATE: medium-light to light body with moderate carbonation. OVERALL: a good irish red ale more balanced towards roasted and dry finish, but still a good style example.

Well it was not bad, but it was nothing to write home about either. Done.
Amber color with a thick off white head. Good lacing. Looks very nice. Some roast, mild fruity and some toffee. Tad sweet and a moderate bitterness. Ok the flavor do not vanish fast. So nothing wrong with it. Just not my cup of ale.

Ein klassisches Red Ale, dessen Namen sich die Iren geschnappt haben. Im Zentrum stehr ein malzig-karamelliger Kern, an dem sich ein paar Trockenfruchtaromen hängen. Der gute Hopfen kommt nicht wirklich durch, was schade ist, immerhin gönnt man sich doch eine nette Auswahl. So erhält man schon ein fein aromatisches Bier, das aber nicht allzu speziell ist.
