Jiarg (pronounce it "Y'arg") is the Manx word for Red in the sense of glowing and burning, which reflects this stunning beer perfectly. It can also refer to the bloodshot colour of eyes. But let's not dwell on overindulgence!
The beer has a rich ruby red colour from the use of crystal malts. There is a spicy citric hop aroma from the Amarillo hops. An initial sweetness leads to a very smooth easy drinking beer which belies its 4.7 ABV.
Ingredients: Pale Ale Malt, Crystal, Amber: Hops: 1) Fuggles / Target 2)Hallertau / Brewers Gold 3) Styrian Goldings / Amarillo

Cask halfpint at JDW, Victoria Station, London. Reddish brown colour, moderate off-white head. Moderate but nice fruity and malty aroma. Rich flavour of ripe berries, malts and fruity hops, soft and smooth to drink, but not too sweet. Pleasant beer.

Cask at Tanners Hall JDW Darlington. Ruby-red amber colour, creamy off-white head leaving some lacing and aroma of lemon citrus. Taste is sweetish malt caramel with citrusy hoppy bitterness. Light to medium bodied, soft carbonation, smooth bitter finish. Quite drinkable.
