Carlow OHaras Irish Red

Brewed by Carlow
Style: Irish Ale
Carlow, Ireland

Nice head and amber colored body... Pretty standard aroma and taste to this one... Nothing out of the ordinary...

Bronze coloured ale with off-white head. Medium complex flavour with roasted malts, underlying malty sweetness and a bit hops. Smoke? Some bitterness in the finish (coffee too?). Overall a fairly nice ale.

Dark, redish, translucent with a good sized off-white head. Nice malty aroma. Slightly bitter. A bit thin. Not much aftertaste.

Medium brown color with a reddish tinge. Sweet, moderate flavor with a hint of hops & bitterness at the finish. Not a bad session beer.

Dough- and berrylike (strawberry,red currant ) aroma. Red brown, plentifull small bubbled carbonation, fluffy off-white head. Cookie- and slightly roasted malt, fruity notes, some herbal edges. Thinish body, sparkly mouthfeel. I suspect it may be more exiting from the cask - from the bottle its somewhat boring.

Aroma is caramel, yeast and floral. Brown color with ruby hilites. Beige head that lacked retention. Medium body with fizzy carbonation. Flavor is malt, floral, almost chocolate notes. The finish is low level roasted malt and a very light bitter. Drinks very well.

Run of the mill. Its red, its Irish and its an ale. Aroma is malt toffe and caramel, flavour is chewy malt, bread and fruit. Aftertaste is spicy but slightly syrupy.

A bit light tan soapy head sits upon a dark caramel colored beer. That head lasts a long time and leaves a tapestry lacing. Aroma is sweet and malty with the faintest hint of smoke. Flavor is less appealing than the appearance or aroma in that it is somewhat thin. It is sweet caramel malt that is steady throughout. However, there is a watery flavor that somewhat undermines the experience.
