2.9 On tap at Dhillon's in Leipzig, Germany. Clear red with almost no head and nothing left on the glass. Caramel and some fruits, no noticeable hops. Slightly sweet. Medium mouthfeel.
3.7 From keg. Red amber color with creamy head. Some caramel, fruits, cherries, plum, smooth, refreshing. Like it.
1.9 Backlog, used to drink this when I was underage and working at the Cork N Bottle in Wildwood NJ. Amber color, metal taste are the main descriptors for this swill.
2.7 All'apparenza è decisamente troppo limpida e con poca schiuma. Era auspicabile anche un colore più marcato. L'intensità olfattiva è bassa e si percepiscono poco il malto e il luppolo. All'assaggio ha un ingresso maltato e regala note di miele e caramello. Il finale però è troppo amaro e rovina l'equilibrio della birra.
1.5 @Edoné - lots of gas
3.2 Ale roja irlandesa. Espuma blanca muy densa casi nata que permanece con cabeza de un dedo. Color rojizo. Sabor equilibrado. Retrogusto ligeramente amargo. Cuerpo medio. Buena

3.1 Meh. Just a red ale. Not a particularly good one. Had them both on tap and bottle. Tap has a creamy Guinness like head. Bottle is just average.
2.1 Aroma: Cereals. Appearance: Ambar color with clear liquid and white head. Taste: Medium bitterness. Palate: Medium body with thin texture and average carbonation. Sour and bitter finish. Overall: Easy to drink but with some metallic notes.
1.0 Donker kleurig bier met weinig schuim. Bier heeft de smaak van gebrande mouten, noten, hout en een klein bittertje. -backlog de BierApp-
4.9 One of the best ales I tried. Pleasant smell of hops. And a sweet aftertaste. Not bitter and cool deep amber color

3.0 Cerveza rojiza con sabor malteado, muy recomendable ya que no se hace pesada en retrogusto
3.8 Fles 33cl in Champagnole. Bitter met droge afdronk, Guinnesserig. Lekker. (8-2009).
2.6 Helder robijnrood bier met weinig schuim. Geur van mout en caramel. Smaak is moutig, caramel en nootachtig. Licht bittere afdronk die snel vervaagt. Gedronken van de tap op de MSC Orchestra in La Cantinella.
3.2 Fles geprobeerd in Limburg. Het is een robijnrood bier met weinig schuim. De geur van mout en caramel. De smaak is moutig, caramel en nootachtig. .
2.6 This beer was ok for me. Think I had it at a dive bar a while back, so was almost their premium beer compared to the normal swill. Sorta reminded me of a smoother/less carbonated Kilian's Irish Red. Wasn't anything special though.

1.7 (m’en souviens plus, il faudrait regoûter dans l'ambiance d'un pub (et encore))
2.9 Draught at Murphy's Bar, CPH Airport. Clear golden amber colour with a dense lightly tanned nitro head. Sweet aroma with caramel malts, fruits, toasted bread and grasses. Taste is light sweet. Medium body with a creamy texture and a soft carbonation. Finishes drying with caramel malts and biscuits. Fair.
2.5 Botella en Alimerka (Oviedo) Color rojizo, mucho gas, sabor leve a malta, me gustó pero más de lo esperado pero no deja de ser una mas de tantas comerciales, eso si con algo mas de sabor, mejora a las españolas comerciales al menos
2.4 Подделка под Ирландский Эль от компании Heineken. Во вкусе очень чувствуется хмель. Послевкусие как у не самого лучшего лагера. Имеет приятный янтарный цвет. Но а в общем не советую.
2.7 From tap at Murphy's Bar CPH Airport. Clear amber coloured beer with an off-wite head. Aroma and flavour of malt, fruit, caramel, hops and with a bitter finish.
2.8 Tap@Murphy's Irish Pub, Copenhagen Airport - golden Amber pour with puffy white head. Sweet malty with some notes of caramel and toffee, slight biscuity touch, vague hoppy, medium to light body, sweet malty finish.
2.1 Cerveza decente, regusto metálico y poco cuerpo. Sabor y aroma a frutos secos.
2.9 Amber color with a foamy beige head. Light body, low carbonation, some lacing. Smell of caramel/molasses, malts, biscuits, herbs and resins. Taste of bread, caramel, toffee, hops, some citruses, wood and grass. Very lager-like brew. Enjoyable, but very basic.
2.5 0,33 l bottle. Pours clear old gold color with small white dissipating malt. Aroma of sweet malt, caramel malt, some herbal and fruity notes, diacetyl. Taste is medium sweet, medium bitter. Body is very light, almost watery, texture is thin and carbonation soft. Finish is dry and medium bitter. All together boring, but at least it’s not offending.
