This Red stands out in this beer style category. The malt body is as impressive as a bock, albeit in a uniquely Irish way. With an incredibly smooth malt body complimented by caramel tones and perfectly balanced in bitterness, this Irish Red is much more complex than it’s mainstream rivals.

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.

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is sweet brown malt with lots of caramel, toffee, some bready malt, lightly roasty. Flavour is sweet with a decent bitterness. Body is medium. Mildly boring but drinkable malty Ale.

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.

Аромат специфичный немного отдает дымком и солодом. Цвет богатый, много оттенок бордового и коричневого цвета. Вкус очень водянистый. Чувствуется солод и хорошая горчинка при глотке. Пиво питкое несмотря на большую карбонизацию. В целом среднее пивко.

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.

Nagy, tartós, bézs színű tömör hab, vöröses árnyalatú barna hab. Fűszeres, komlós illat, halvány karamell érzettel. Lágy, visszafogott ízvilágú, enyhén karamelles, fűszeres. Könnyű, nem szénsavas, alig keserű. Kellemes, jól iható ivósör.
