bottle as Moling’s Traditional Red Ale - Pours dark read with a thin head. The aroma is of caramel malt and a little dark fruit. The flavor is of toasty caramel malts and mild fruitiness with just a little hops. It didn’t exactly blow me away and could have used some more hops bite, but I actually enjoyed it quite a bit.

Final beer style! 12oz bottle. Pours a clear, amber-brown color; off-white head with good retention and fine-bubbled lacing. Light, dried cherries and candy sugar in the aroma. Syrupy cherries and cola in the mouthfeel: overly sweet, without all that much to it; kind of one-dimensional and bland, with a light roasted character coming through at mid-palate. Quick, dry and mineral finish.

Bottle. Dark red and brown with a large off-white foam. Aromas are smoky and lightly roasted with caramel malts, metal and some Autumn fruit. Flavours are smoky and slightly burnt with quite a degree of bitterness. Some pear and citrus with a flat metallic note on the finish. OK.

Dark orange with a medium head. Predominantly malty, nutty and caramel. Dry finish. A very nice Irish ale, all the more welcome given the poor qualiy of its big brand rivels.

Pours amber, very clear, with a soft white head. Caramel and lighly toasty flavor. Finish is earthy in the hops, dry and a faint smoked flavor. Great balance and smooth on the palate.

From a 11.2 oz. bottle, best before date on the back label, sampled at cellar temperature in a pint glass. Poured a clear reddish amber with a foamy, bubbly topped off-white head that slowly settled into a thin creamy lacing, minimal amount of laced sticking. Aromas of toasted caramel and grains, herbal tea-like hops and a light fruitiness. Good carbonation and a crisp, dry, smooth medium-light bodied mouthfeel. Tastes of toasted grains and buttery caramel, herbal hops along with dry tea leaves, a subtle sweet fruitiness, and a dry spicy, toasted toffee malty finish. Not bad, easy drinkability, a bit refreshing on this summer day.

Bottle. Decent Irish red with a little smokiness to boot. Sweet malty taste due to caramel malts. decent but far from great
