Michelob Irish Red Ale

Pours reddish amber with a thin white head. Aroma is malt some caramel, fruit and nuts. Flavor is kind of hoppy, caramel, some sweet fruit and nuts. Dry finish, very drinkable. Good for a Michelob beer.

Bottle. Pours a nice dark amber with red hues when held up to the light. It has a smally lingering white head. Aroma is sweetmalts, Notes of caramel, dark fruit, and walnut come out. On the palate, it is a bit light for an Irish red. The flavor is a bit sweetier than I expected, but it a good way. It finishes rather dry. Pretty good beer, esspecially for a Macro. Very sessionable.

Nice attempt from a beer company I do not like. They are however striving for a better beer and I can totally respect that. Not Bad

12oz bottle from Shaw’s. Pours a dark red copper body with a thin film of light tan head. Smells fruity, nutty, with some caramel. Nut and caramel jump out of the flavor, with a fair bit of a fruity sweetness. Medium in body with moderate body, and easy drinking. Nothing stellar, but a solid example of the style, tasty and drinkable. A good brew.

Well it does in fact start malty sweet and fade to a dry finish, as they claim, but the dry finish is too much; it really knocks you over. The aroma is malty and sweet with touches of cinnamon. Nice head and great color!

8/12/09 from 12oz bottle. Aroma is all malt with a sweet/sour caramel note balanced by a black pepper background. Appearance is faintly hazy copper with a very well maintained cream colored head. Flavor matches well with aroma, with a slight earthy addition added to the maltiness and low bittering.Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a seemingly low carb feel that still lingers on the tongue. Overall, not bad, but could be a bit richer.

Glassy red (or dark orange). Some root beer-like head. The color of a lava lamp. Sweet roasted malt, not really bitter. Nutty, kinda like a roasted brown. Only slightly sweet. Roasted malt of a Smithwicks with a Guinness. A tiny bitter Irish bite. Slightly sweet, akin to the sweetness of an Oktoberfest. Some nice roasted malts (more bitter with warmth). Nutty and not overly bitter. Milky but a little bubbly fizzy. Some nice bite. A solid, slightly bitter, slightly sweet Irish ale. A nutty red ale.

Bottle from Pat’s variety Michelob case. Brownish medium pour with 3-finger off-khaki head. Nose is malt, hops, brown sugary. Tastes on the sweet side, very caramel malty, with very mild hops and a brown sugary flavor. Not very complex, and muddles more as it warms.
