This classic beer style was inspired by centuries of Celtic brewing history. Specialty roasted malts such as crystal and carastan dominate Irish Red Ale resulting in a ruby red colour and smooth malty taste.

Bottle. Amber color with a thin white head. Very earthy aroma, with nice sweet caramel and toasted malt. A touch of smoke. Falls apart upon tasting though, very thin body, some sweet and lightly nutty malts. Some light earthy hops.

This ale poured a nice dark red colour with a foamy white head. To the nose is is sweet and slightly hoppy with a little dough thrown in. First sip had a strong taste of gravy...different. Hoppy to taste with a little bitterness. Slightly watery finish. The palate was slightly bitter with lingering hop.

Nice orange copper ale with a thick foamy off-white head. Sweet malty aroma with notes of apples, scotch malt and lots of fruity esters, with a bit too much buttery notes. In mouth, good malt base with roasted nuttyness, a nice hops in finish, a bit overcarbonated ( giving the thick head), and medium bodied. A quite liked it.

Amber colour with a nice thick white head. Strong malty aroma with a bunch of hops and some spices. Strong maltiness in the taste. Medium-bodied; A bit of hops detectable as well as malt. Overall, a strong red and pretty good for the style. Overall, definately one to try! I sampled this beer at Joey_Capps' on 13-September-2003 in Hamilton, Ontario.

After a few batches, this hit its stride as a malt-accented ale with some earthy complexity.
