Carlow OHaras Irish Red

Brewed by Carlow
Style: Irish Ale
Carlow, Ireland

A dark amber beer with a small fast disappearing head. The aroma is weak but slightly sweet. The flavor is wheaty (?) - too sweet and boring. All in all an average beer.

(Bottle 50 cl) Called "Molings Traditional Celtic Beer" in my version. Mahogany in colour with a reddish tint and a rather stable, light brown head. Sweetish and malty with notes of caramel and smoke. Very pleasant Irish ale. 200304

Bottled.. Nut brown. Neutral aroma. Sweet and medium bodied, perhaps a little roasty. Low bitterness.

50 cL bottle. Pours golden deep hazzlenutbrown with a creamy light tan head. Spiced and caramel malty aroma. Flavour is medium dry caramel malty with a tobacco spiced hops flavour following. Goes reasonably bitter after this and into the finish. Light fruity note appearing from the hops too.

Red colour with a small beige head. Sweet malty aroma with notes of grain. Malty flavour with notes of grain and caramel, with a hoppy finish. Very drinkable, but an average beer.
