Irish Red Ale
There’s a bit of bite to Redcoat. That makes sense, really. There was a bit of bite to the Irishmen who stood up to the Redcoats, the British soldiers who invaded their lands. Those Irishmen were rebels. They did things their own way. They feared no one. We appreciate those qualities. So we’ve brewed Redcoat the Irish way, hopped for balance and drinkability. May it be the pint that settles your quarrels.

Tap @ the brewery. Nice head with good duration. Color is amber. Aroma and taste are caramel, fruits, malt, little nuts and hops. Nice caramel finish.

473ml can. Pours a clear copper with red hue and a small, creamy, long lasting, beige head that laces. Aroma of toasted bready malt, caramel, earth and a hint of chocolate. Semi-sweet flavour of toasted bready malt, caramel, earth and a hint of chocolate in a dry, mild bitter, grassy hop finish. Light to medium body with a watery texture and average carbonation. Nothing special, just ok.

Catching up some rates from last weeks trip to Newfoundland. Taster at the source. Slightly hazy copper with reddish highlights and a milky white head that persists. Lots of caramel and a hint of chocolate with some earth and light smoke to counter. Nice red ale.

473mL can, pours a cloudy dark amber with a beige head. Aroma brings out toasted bread and subdued piney hops. Flavour is along the same lines, with toasted malt and restrained piney hops. with a dry, slightly bitter finish. Nicely constructed, but unexciting, as expected.

Dark amber - light brown. Didn’t pour with much head. Very toasty aroma. Light sweetness, again more toastiness, and then it finishes sweet. Ok for the style, which isn’t that interesting admittedly.

On tap at the Governors Pub. Pours a clear deep ruby amber with a light brown head that lasts throughout the beer. Aroma has sweet grains with a bit of biscuit and a nice sweet bread note. Flavor is mainly sweet grains and biscuit with whiny of grass underlying.
