Calumet Kellys Irish Red Lager

On draught at the brewpub in downtown Chilton, Wisconsin. Pours a clear reddish amber brew with a creamy off-white head that has some nice retention and sticky lacing. Aroma of powdered amber malt, a touch of light yeast and flowery hops. Taste is light to medium bodied, some fruity character of apples, light caramel malt and citrus zest hops. Finish is slightly dry, a light metallic texture and thin caramel malt aftertaste is just barely noticeable.

clear amber, wispy beige head, drippy lace, sweet caramelized malt aroma, rich malt flavor that lasts from beginning to end, nice sweetness from the richness but a light bitterness keeps it from being too sweet,

Paid my first visit to Rowlands on a beautiful winter Saturday. Started with the Irish Red. Poured darker than expected. Not a bitter beer by any means. Had a light-medium sweetness and medium body. Not overly sweet though. Picked up a growler and brought it to a buddies place. Everyone enjoyed it.

Sort of a generic amber - caramel malt with light hops. I hope this is long enough for the filter.

Deep red colored body. Tough to get an aroma on this one. Grains, toasted barley, lager profiles. Malty. Medium bodied. Bottom fermented.
