Previously known as Newmans Red Stag Bitter.
Iron Age Celts lived in Britain Europe and after Jesus. The name ’Iron Age’ came from the discovery of the new metal called iron. The Celts lived across most of Europe during the Iron Age. Today the Celts live in Wales, Ireland, Scotland, the Isle of Man, Cornwall and in Brittany, France. Their culture lives on in language, music, song and literature.Celt Iron age is a ruby coloured fruity beer full of robust and unique fruity hop characteristics. This initial clean hop bitterness is balanced with a smooth malty caramel body and a complexion of rich fruity aromas with hints of berryfruit.

Peter_L (156) - SWEDEN - APR 11, 2013
Mörk rubinröd. Högt skum som sakta avtar. Påtaglig doft av karamell, kola och humle. Något kort och vattnig smak. Annars helt ok.

larsga (5364) - Oslo, NORWAY - APR 5, 2013
Medium pale beige head, slightly coarseish. Clear deep dark red body with carbonation. Deep dried fruit and dark wood aroma with spicy wild berry notes. Dry-sweet roasty dried fruit and wood taste with oily roasty cocos notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft, smooth mouthfeel. Dryish roasty cocos aftertaste with mineraly wooden fruit notes. Lovely. Well balanced, harmonic, very vivid, and incredibly easy to drink. Very impressive beer at 3.5%. (0.5l bottle, Systembolaget, Charlottenberg.)

Seffle (27) - Mölndal, SWEDEN - MAR 30, 2013
Folköl, därav ngt vattnig och kort i eftersmaken. Utmärkt beska. Mycket välhumlad, spec som ale. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
