Maroon color. Aromas and flavors of ammonia, black tea with fruit, chocolate, and apricot with a velvety, lively, spritzy, dryish medium body and an interesting, long finish displaying touches of brown bread, toasted apple, apricot, and singed caramel. Faith and begorah, a lovely little Irish red that’ll go great with some corned beef and cabbage.

About
Irish Style Ale
Irish ales are reddish in color and range from 4.5-6.5% in alcohol. They feature rich malt accents, a slightly sweet palate and low hop bitterness. In addition to Irish style stouts, these beers represent a large portion of the Irish market and are easily recognized by their appearance and high drinkability. Noteworthy examples of this style include: O’Hara’s Irish Style Red Ale, Samuel Adams Irish Red and Great Lakes Conway’s Irish Ale.
