0.44l can. Aroma of caramel, dark fruit and flowers. Pours clear amber brown color with thick creamy cappuccino-like head, good lacing and soft visible carbonation. Taste starts refreshing dark fruity and grassy, following is caramelly, mouthfeel is smooth, while finish is mild to average bitter. Medium body, creamy texture and soft carbonation in palate. Mild but explosive…

Lovely nitro pour. Caramel and biscuit notes, a little sweet but finishes slightly bitter. A bit thin of flavor.

Samo 4,3 alk. Svaka O'Hara's je odlična piva. Davnih dana, još kada sam krenuo sa sakupljanjem piva tamo negdje prije 12tak godina O'Hare su mi bile omiljene. Gledam arhivu i baš je njihova Irish Red bila u probi. I još od tada su mi te O'Hare vrhunske, tako da mi je teško biti i objektivan prema njima. Kod ove su mjehurići rađeni od dušika i ugljikovog dioksida pa je i u tome posebna i vrijedna kušanja.

Lattina. Un arco olfattivo dominato dall'orzo tostato. L'intensità olfattiva è normale, permanendo in maniera sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma cremosa ha una buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana fine. Il liquido appare opalescente. Il colore è ambrato. Il corpo è pieno. Il dolce è medio in buon equilibrio con l'amaro medio. La forza gustativa è normale e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di pronta beva. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. Il tetto della bocca riconosce indizi di miele, pane tostato e agrumi.

Аромат действительно красного эля. Есть хмель британский континентальный, немного травянистости, намеки на орехи и солод. Цвет темно красный, пенка соответственно крутая для нитро. Вкус очень кремовый как и должен быть. Почти никаких фруктов и карамели, только кремовость и легкая травянистость. В целом дико приятно, единственный минус пить надо сразу, а то без азота пить тяжело, становится горько и пусто.

Can from Kaufland Poljička, Split, shared with heavy. Hazy amber-brown body, off-white head. Berries and caramel in the creamy, smooth aroma - not bad! The taste, however, is where it falls flat (literally) - smooth but tart, slightly floral, light dried fruit, rye, light bitterness, weird alcohol-like notes. Dunno, didn't sit well with me in the end.
