Irish Red
(has 1 batch)

Tap @Docker in Belgrade-Serbia. Dark copper with hidden amber highlights and a tick ivory foam. Nose: leather, horse, malty. Mouth: strong amber malt backbone with a straight forward happy bitterness. Nice indeed.

440ml can at home. Nitro pour, deep mahogany almost brown color with a large tan blanket of bubbles. Muted aroma of toast, caramel. Flavour is buttered toast, molasses, sugar, some small bit of onion.

Roasted cereals, hazelnuts and grain bark make up the dominant elements of the olfactory. A beige foam, thick, quite creamy and persistent, on a reddish-brown liquid with coppery reflections and strongly effervescent. The grain bark hits the palate first and perpetuates itself until the final, bringing an astringent and tenacious bitterness. Tones of walnuts, an exceptionally light caramel barely perceptible, leafy hops that are incorporated into an astringency and tenacious bitterness. The body is moderately light with a fairly mild effervescence. This beer may be an example of style, but its harsh side and its bitterness of grain bark royally displeases me. Céréales grillées, noisettes et écorce de grain composent les éléments dominants de l’olfactif. Une mousse beige, épaisse, assez crémeuse et persistante, sur un liquide brun rougeâtre aux reflets cuivrés et fortement effervescent. L’écorce de grain nous frappe le palais en premier et se perpétue jusqu’en finale, amenant une amertume astringente et tenace. Des tons de noix de Grenoble, un très léger caramel à peine perceptible, des houblons feuillus qui s’incorporent à une amertume âpre et tenace. Le corps est moyennement léger avec une effervescence assez douce. Cette bière a beau être un exemple du style, son coté âpre et son amertume d’écorce de grain me déplait royalement.

O’Hara’s Irish Red Traditional Ale 4.3% Reddish brown with a wispy tan head and a biscuity peppery aroma. Medium bodied with a slightly raspy carbonation. The taste is well balanced with peppery, mild toffee, hints of coffee beans and a balancing malt sweetness. Quite enjoyable.

Beer52 CyberFest 5. Creamy light brown head stayed on a reddish brown still body. Malt, ashtray & coal aroma. Medium bodied, short on the palate with a clean back. Rye, herbal, vegetal, berry & root beer tastes. Interesting.

Clear, mahogany color and an off-white head. Nose of roasted malt, caramel. Taste is nutty, malty-sweet and hints of brown sugar.

Bottle from Brew Republic, Reading. Aroma is rich and malty with a sour berry streak. Opaque dark brown. Thin bubbly beige head. Initial sour berries, as per the aroma. Bitter core. Some underlying hints of chocolate. Gains a smokey bitterness as it progresses. Light-medium bodied. Slick if thin. Fizzy carbonation. Long dry finish. For whatever reason this just hit the spot.
