Filtered - Fruity red plum smell with a sweet malt and rasberry element. Smells great. Redish brown with a thin lacy white head. Smooth light thin body with a soft carbonation. Ruby flowery taste. Nut, light bitter roast adn a slight sour finish. Rich Malt roast. Alright but I got board of it.

On tap at the bank street location. Very nice Irish ale. Well carbonated. Nice hop taste. Almost my favorite of their offerings

Originally rated February 2006. Pours a deep copper colour with nice lacing. The nose is very light, with hints of malt and caramel. The taste is floral with grain malt. Nice dry bitterness in the finish, and dry mouthfeel. Great tasting brew that is awesome for session... and with the onion rings I had that night.

Has a very faint barley aroma. Body is a modest dark-copper-brown with little head. Flavour is great rust-like body with a hoppy-ish finish; it reminds you of walking into your favourite pub for a pint, tired after a long day (or a long flight from the arctic, but I digress) and filled with hints of caramel and barley. It’s a very good beer, and there I am, turn that page.

Cask. Just being a cask version of the Clocktower Red made this one a good start. Felt great in the mouth as a good cask should. Some hop presence on the back end, front loaded with malts. Pretty solid beer.

Draught at the brewpub. As ’Clocktower Red’. Pours a clear orange-amber with a lasting frothy beige head and decent lacing on the glass. Very mild aroma of caramel malt, light leafy hops and a hint of nuts. Flavour of caramel malt and toffee. Finish is more bitter then expected, it’s not very bitter or anything, just more then expected. Somewhat creamy mouthfeel, average bodied. Red’s are not a fave style by any means but this is O.K.

At the Clarence Street brewpub location in ByWard Market - draught pint. Looks the part - deep refractive red with a decent frothy beige head. Dry infensely leafy aroma with light toasty grain malt background - pretty solid, but decidedly not ’west coast.’. Taste follows, some resin and alcohol - nicely balanced. Average body, mild. carbonation and astringency, only a medium-length bitter finish - easy to drink in quantity.
