COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
An Irish-style red ale with the strength of an English strong ale. Full-bodied, malty and alcoholic. Not too hoppy in order to emphasize the complex malt flavor and fruity aroma. The ruby red color hints at its rich caramel maltiness.

This is an excelent beer on tap. It has a high 7.3 abv, and you can tell. Try getting a "growler" to go, and you won’t regret it

smoosh (529) - New Albany, Indiana, USA - MAY 17, 2013
I came in and thought about what I wanted and decided on something malty and sweet like Celebrator. They didn’t have it. I asked the bartender for a suggestion and this is what she came up with. It is actually better than expected! Quite sweet throughout. Malt in the nose. A dark copper body with a beige head on top. A really fine beer!

Simple aromas of roasted grains and toffee. Crimson/brown appearance. Nicely balanced flavors of burnt sugar, toasted caramel, toffee and hinted alcohol. Interesting off sweetness with brown sugar & maple on the finish. Overall, not bad. Fairly basic yet high drinkability.

I had this at on tap at BJ's in Oxnard, CA. Nice reddish amber color. Smooth palate with great flavor. No hops with vanilla and caramel. one of my favorite Irish Reds. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Pretty good red. Nice level of malts that are not shy. Good straight flavor, not clouded by bitterness nor hops. Nice clear reddish color.

On tap @ BJ’s, Montebello, CA. Clear amber color. Off white head. Aroma’s: malty, sweet, caramel, biscuit, some red fruit. Flavor is slightly malty sweet. Medium bodied. OK, but Irish Red isn’t particularly my favorite style.

Tap at BJs in Pinellas Park. Orange amber pour with a sticky foamy white head. Nice malt and sweet balance - this is pretty solid.

fluffy (817) - St Petersburg, Florida, USA - NOV 14, 2012
this is an irish red? tastes more like a amber to me. too hoppy for a irish red. that being said, its not too bad. a bit of toffee and leather with a mild citrus brightness at the end. another passable beer from BJs.

On draft. This is a nice red ale. Strong caramel/sweet malty notes. Some fruity qualities from the hops and yeast. Easy drinking and well made.
