Bay Ale is a copper coloured, traditional ale with malt and hop aromas and a smooth and well-balanced flavour. Hoppy, yet malt-forward this ale strikes a great balance. Using Perle, Bobek and Willamette hops alongside a strong malt backbone this beer is both for savoring and thirst-quenching, depending on your mood.

On tap at The Beer Temple in Dublin. Copper red color. Creamy beige cap. Pleasant toasted malt aroma has a nutty nuance. Flavor mirrors nose. Smooth and malty. Toasty, sweet and nutty with a hint of toffee. Nicely done.

Tap @ Titi Twister, Bordeaux. Dark amber with a small head and a glow. Ordinary red ale in the main, not particularly bad but nothing outstanding here either.

Ein nettes irisches 🇨🇮 Red Ale mit vollem malzigen Körper und weinroter Farbe. Aromentechnisch eher einfach gehalten, aber doch gut trinkbar.

C'est une red ale gentillette qui nous est proposé par la brasserie Galway Bay. Et si je mets une petite mention aux arômes qui sans être extravagants ne sont pas non plus stéréotypé du style, l'alcool, à 4,4% est nettement insuffisant et n'arrive pas à donner de l'élan à l'ensemble. Sur le visuel nous sommes sur un ambré limpide quasiment sans mousse et avec de grosses bulles et une effervescence très peu soutenue. Le nez est globalement appréciable sur le caramel, les céréales, l'orange un peu sûre et une touche de poire. En bouche, l'ensemble manque de tension, mal amené par un alcool insuffisant. Les arômes sont simples, comme au nez, mais pas déplaisants. De légères épices viennent même s'ajouter. Pas de complexité toutefois. La corpulence et la longueur sont également très limitées. Bref, cela n'est pas désagréable, mais en aucun cas mémorable.
