MacArdle Moore Brewery was a brewery in Dundalk, Ireland, formed in 1850 from the merger of two older breweries, McAllisters and Wynnes. Over the years it was to become almost synonymous with brewing in Dundalk. It joined the Guinness empire in the late 1960s. The brewery was closed in 2000.
MacArdles is a very nice clean crisp Irish Red Ale. The beer is an amber red in color and has an aroma that is a combination of English hops and fruity esters. The flavor starts out with a light malt flavor that fades into a light crisp hop finish. Brewed with Pale Ale, Cara Vienne and Cara Munich Malts with First Gold Hops.

Can from Dunnes Stores, Longford [090212]
Copper brown, big bubbly off white head, some lacing
Aroma - light malt extract, cardboard, very little aroma
Taste of light caramel malts, some sugar, malt extract, watery, little flavour, bland
Palate - soft carb, light body, slight fruits, cardboard. Finish is non-descript.
Overall - Tastes of cheap economy brewing. But it’s still better than Smithwick’s
