kwoeltje (1205), Manchester, Missouri, USA Apr 24, 2008 (draught at the brewpub) Bronze red with small light tan head. Slightly sweet malt aroma. Flavor is caramel malt and some hops in the finish. theisti (1034), Leawood, Kansas, USA Mar 30, 2007 On tap at the brewpub. Pour is bronze - red, very little head. Aroma is not really present. Taste is a little bit of malt, no hop, and really nothing else until the finsish, which was putrid. I certainly hope I got a bad one. Other raters I respect scored this one far higher, so I’ll give it a go next time and hopefully have an improved re-rate. csbosox (970), Prairie Village, Kansas, USA Jul 5, 2006 On tap. Reddish color. Aroma is caramelly. Taste is caramelly, nutty, mildly spciy. Not too bad. heemer77 (3647), Savannah, Missouri, USA Mar 20, 2006 The body was dark copper with a light khaki colored head. The aroma was iced tea with apples and a hint of oranges. The taste had orange liqueur wit some caramel and old leaves. Something was musty and off in the finish. tjthresh (1279), Greenfield, Indiana, USA Jul 29, 2005 Lots of of strong caramel and a touch of roast malts, fruity yeast esters, and no hop aroma. Nice and clear reddish brown with little head. Very caramelly with a great dark malt and hop bitterness at the end. Full bodied with the right amount of carbonation. Rate Beer has this listed as an amber ale, but I think it fits the Irish Red style better.
