COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Brewed in the tradition of the ales of Ireland, we use Horizon hops and imported malt to make our Irish Red light-bodied and very drinkable.

Fruity aroma. Foamy head that has the appearance of a cloud or dirty snow. Fizzy mouthfeel, kind of cloudy appearance. Bit watery at end.

nice dark red color with a white head. this was actually pretty good. hoppy and malty at the same time. it was very drinkable, and it was the first beer i sampled. good way to start things off.

Dark golden red. Flora and fruity aroma. Very clear. Slightly sweet and slightly peachy, medium bittering. I'll hav to try the Horizon Hops in my next homebrew batch. Quite good.

A little light for my tastes. Not bad for a "red" beer, though.

SpringsLicker (2547) - Tennessee, USA - AUG 21, 2006
Draught at Barley’s in Knoxville. Pours copper with just a touch of haze in the body with a lasting, but smallish off-white head above. Bready malt aroma. Well balanced with no extreme maltiness or hoppy bitterness. Slightly sweet and toasty. Easy drinking but not a beer for someone looking for excitement. This one easily fits the "session beer" category.

Suttree (3927) - Knoxville, Tennessee, USA - JUN 16, 2006
Reddish, as one might expect from a beer with "red" in its name. Thin white head. Brown sugar and cinnamon on a biscuit aroma. Maybe a hint of berries, too. Flavor is very much on the sweet side, with a lot of fruity, caramel malts, with maybe touch of crispness at the finish. On tap at Union Jacks, Knoxville.

tronraner (2458) - Walland, Tennessee, USA - AUG 1, 2006
Draught, Union Jack’s in Knoxville. Pours red copper with wispy beige head. The aroma is light toast, yeast, slight hops, and an interesting vinous note. The first flavor that strikes me is cotton candy. Then there are some faint piney hops, slightly burnt cookies, and a warm bready finish that is only slightly astringent. Toasty aftertaste. Not bad, but it takes a few sips to get used to the sweetness.

Magjayran (1379) - Durham, North Carolina, USA - MAY 8, 2005
On tap at Satisfaction’s in Durham, North Carolina. Deep red color with a thin head and decent lacing. Malts and more malts in the aroma with a little bit of bitterness. Taste starts sweet and ends bitter. Even with the hops apparent in the finish I still feel the malt character dominates this beer. Interesting but not a fantastic beer by any stretch.
