UPDATED: SEP 7, 2023 a well deserved spot as a top 50 Irish red. from a bottle, this has a dark red brown color. very smooth. tasty beer.

UPDATED: APR 17, 2019 .5 l bottle. Pours a copper brown with a dense off-white head. Big sweet malt smells. Sweet malty backbone with some good balancing hops bite to it. Well made and a good low carbonation mouthfeel. I like a lot.

UPDATED: DEC 9, 2018 Draught at Tig Bhric, Ballyferriter, Ireland. Poured a crystal clear dark coppery red with 5mm of off-white very dense foam that retained very well and laced well. Carbonation very rare, very slow and coarse. Aroma very subtly of caramel. Taste of sweet caramel with a slight hoppy bitterness. Light body with a thin mouthfeel and a coffee-like bitterness on a lingering finish.

Admittedly not a preferred style of mine. Very dull. One of the least visually appealing beers I’ve ever seen. Thin muddy brown. Shallow and lacking of appropriate carbonation. Very weak.
