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.

Can, 0.44l. Deep amber pour, one finger creamy off-white head, long lasting. Sticky lacing on the glass. Nice on the nose, malty, toasted caramel, fruity notes in the background. Medium to full body, flat carbonation. Smooth mouthfeel and texture, thick and chewy, very nice and easily drinkable. Nicely balanced taste, malty sweet with subtle roasty bitterness. Aroma of toasted caramel, dried fruits, rye bread. Subtle coffee notes in the background. Medium lasting finish, slightly dry, subtle lingering bitterness. Enjoyable.

Can @home. Rossa intensa, abbastanza limpida, schiuma bianco sporca media, discretamente persistente. Al naso note di malto, caramello, frutta rossa, leggero tostato. In bocca è abboccata, maltata, con chiusura amara molto leggera. Corpo leggero, carbonazione soft. Molto British, buona!

Can (from KCM Päivölä Seinäjoki). Deep copper colour with a mediumsized supercreamy slightly off-white head, which leaves good lace. Aroma is floral hops, mild berries, spruce and some slight toffee tones. Flavour is berries, wood, some floral hops, mild spruce and some toffeeish tones. Silky smooth palate with a very creamy tasting head. Actually looks better than Guinness...
