Carlow OHaras Irish Red

Brewed by Carlow
Style: Irish Ale
Carlow, Ireland

Wonderful deep red color with thick white head. A distinct malt, fruity taste with an excellent caramel finish. Red ale is not my favorite style but this was pretty good and was much better than the far more well known Smithwick’s.

Bottle, with the alternate label "Moling’s Traditional Celtic Ale". Copper-penny amber with a short-lived tan head. Aromas of chocolate, toffee, and hints of rye. Whiskey-kissed toffee malts with notes of apple fruit and a dry woody finish. Not getting any smoke here, more like a subtle whiskey-barrel note. A little on the thin side, but otherwise quite nice.

Bottle. Pours a dark, dark ruby red body with nice thick off white foamy head. The aroma is regular malt and a touch of smoke. The flavor is slightly smokey with notes of malt.

Flavor/Palate : medium light bodied. Brown malts on flat , plain. Bit peppery. Not much here also not particularly drinkable either. Late woody bitterness.

Bottle. Pours a dark copper-auburn body with a bubbly white head. The aroma has light DMS, bread, and some caramel. Tastes toasty with caramel malts and faint vegetal notes.

12 ounce bottle pours a nice red.Taste decent some hops and easy to put down probably wouldnt buy again.

12oz bottle into a pint glass Rather dark for a red, though light shows nice ruby colors. Smooth and easy going with a touch of roast and chocolate.

Dark reddish-brown pour with a light tan head. Sweet malt aroma. Slightly sweet tasting, a little hop flavor and a little dry finish. Nice balance of flavor. Lacing on the glass.
