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 (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...
