Simple Red Ale. Not many real flavours. It’s a bit to plain for me. Like some other Franciscan beers better
Draught at the brewpub, August 2016. Caramel, wort, butter, light floral, raisins, green hop notes in the aftertaste. A bit flawed yet certainly not bad.
A sweet malt and caramel aroma, pours a color of burnt caramel with a short lasting tan head, moderate carbonation, however goes flat quickly. Taste is sweet malt and a hint of caramel, watery mouth feel with a sugary sweet malt finish.
Bottle 0,33L. Clear, ruby brown color with huge, frothy, long lasting head and lively visible carbonation. Aroma of roasted malts, caramel, cherries. Taste starts light acidic with apple notes, while aftertaste is light bitter with caramel touch. Light to medium body, watery texture, soft carbonation.

Pint from keg at The Market Porter. Nice creamy red ale, with clear Irish origin. Slightly sweet, caramelly even, but no marked aroma
Warm and fruity aroma with a ruby red colour. Warming and at the same time fresh and summery. Nice.

Love how widely available this beer has become on tap around Ireland, can’t have more than a few pints before the taste becomes a bit much but I do love the first few
Tap at Kellys Bar in Cobh, Ireland. Pours dark and ruddy, but very clear. Not real. ;( Aroma is malty, and floral. Med body. Flavor is malty, but there’s floral and even a bit of spice to help out. Smithwicks sorta kinda. Enjoyable in the land of Guinness.

From keg at the Murderers in Norwich. Thanks to Grumbo and the Danes for the share. Dark amber coloured body. Filmy layer. spotty lacing. Bread and brown malty nose. Toffee added by moments of herbal hops to the taste buds. Semi-sweet ending. Rather thin on the swallow. So and so (Shared with Cunningham, 18.02.2017).

Keg at the Murderers, Norwich. Pours amber with a small white head. Aroma of malt, caramel, corn and vegetable. Quite heavy sweetness and light bitterness. Medium body and sticky texture, above average carbonation. Not for me this one.
Draught at pub in Strandhill Ireland. A confused beer, parts are nice but the whole seems disjointed. Incredibly light and drinkable but also with a misplaced bitterness.
