Poured into a mug, the appearance was a muddy dark red color with a thin layer of white foamy head that dissipated fairly quick. Stringy lace.
The aroma had toast, biscuits, caramel, black tea, orange marmalade and a touch of woodiness. Grassy hops send a decent balance.
The flavor had some semi-sweet maltiness playing with the grassy hops dryly. And then combines for the aftertaste. Malty smooth aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Low carbonation. ABV felt where it says it is.
Overall, good Irish red ale that I would have again.
