Inspired by the turbulent life of Buile Suibhne, our Irish red ale brewed with rye and oats, is smooth and balanced enough to calm the mad king himself.

16/6/2023. Cask at the 18th Braintree Real Ale Festival. Pours clear dark reddish brown with a small bubbly off-white head. Aroma of malt, toffee, nut, rye bread, oats. Moderate sweetness, medium bitterness. Moderate body, slightly oily, soft carbonation. Dry bitter finish. Good.

Can thanks to my bro. It pours clear ruby red with a small, frothy white head. The aroma is fairly sweet, jam donuts, red berry, cola cubes and bread. The taste is dry, touch of fleeting bitterness, earthy, kinda grassy, leafy, woody, jammy red berry, touch of victoria sponge cake and some cola cubes with a drying, leafy finish. Average body, fine carbonation and stucki mouth feel. Ok for the style, but not overly drinkable.

Cask @ Railway, Stockport. So red it looks clear brown, with a creamy head. It’s slightly watery but fine with mildly grainy malts. There’s some dryness to its taste.

Gravicask at The 14th Robin Hood Beer and Cider Festival, first day. Shared with Finn. Beige bubbly head over a rustic-reddish body, laces fine. Biscuit, bread and berries on the nose, promising. Fruit-berry taste, slightly tart. Prolonged ending. Pretty fair. (Nottingham 12.10.2022).

På Robin Hood Beer&Cider Festival 2022. Delt med Rune. Rustrød. Luftig skumring. Aroma av rabarbra. Smaken søt frukt. Så vidt litt bitterhet.
