An exemplary Irish Red Ale, this holds many of the style's key mark traits. Expect a ruby coloured ale with a slightly fruity nose and notes of mild caramel and toasted malts in the body. At 4% ABV this is a very drinkable, very approachable red ale.

Cask at Briar Rose, Birmingham. Reddish brown with good lasting beige head. Its a sweet earthy and caramel noted beer with some dried fruit and a yeasty tang. Somewhat dusty and leafy by the finish. A bit muddled in my view.

Cask at the Falcon (JDW), High Wycombe. Orange-chestnut colour with a beige head. Sweet, with caramel to the fore and a hint of red fruit. A simple brew, but it seemed to be just the thing on a warm spring day after a long, hilly walk. Went down very nicely.
