A less than inspired version of a beer that I have difficulty getting excited about. Sweet malt is not balanced by other well defined taste. Hops and spices are hard to find. Underwhelming.

Pours a deep amber colour with a beige head, decent retention and a little lace. Malty nose with good grain, hints of farm aromas (fresh, in a good way) and light hops. The taste present mild sweetness, but nicely blended with the grassy hops and biscuit notes. The mouthfeel has a nice dry finish. A very nicely balanced Irish red brew with the caramel malts, roasted notes and hops.

En fût à la brasserie. De couleur roux ou ambré foncé, la mousse est épaisse. L’attaque est à forte teneur de grain, d’écorce de céréales. de style fermier, accents de seigle, de sarazin. Elle est légèrement sucrée avec du caramel. L’effervescence est active. La texture, légèrement onctueuse. Le houblonnage présente une petite amertume mais l’action se situe beaucoup plus dans les sucres et les grains. Bel équilibre.

A reddish copper ale with a thin off white head. In aroma, classic smooth biscuit malt with grassy English hops, like boréale rousse. In mouth, a nice crisp biscuit malt with good grassy British hops, very nice. On tap at brewery.
