The Crafty Brewing Company Irish Red Ale

This full flavored ale has a slightly sweet and fruity aroma with a dash of roast. The single aroma hop comes through in the taste and like any gentleman leaves a great lasting impression.

2.9 Botella 500ml de LIDL. Color rojizo cobrizo, transparente, espuma beige, fina, alta, retencion media. Aroma malta, malta tostada, caramelo, frutal. Sabor parecido, dulce con un toque de suave amargor

4.0 Röstiger Geruch. Im Glas dunkles braun. Der Antrunk ist nussig und röstig, vollmundig. Aromen von Kaffee, Schokolade und Nuss. Sehr ausgewogen. Angenehm carbonisiert. Eins der besten Red Ales für mich bis jetzt

3.0 Mocno słodowe, nuty melanoidynowe, zaznaczona goryczka. Pite w plenerze z gwinta. Ok.

2.8 Liquide ambré avec mousse courte et compacte. Nez malté sucré et caramel. En bouche, c'est identique au nez avec une touche de noisettes, standard dans le style !

3.3 Bottle shared, darker amber beer, small head. Aroma is malt, caramel, sweet. Taste is the same, bitter, sweet, slight metalic, meh ok

3.0 Bottled 500ml (Lidl Suomi) Red colour, small beige head. Fruity caramel, quite sweet aroma. Light-bodied. Sweetish, caramalt, a bit nutty flavour. Very typical Irish Red Ale. Ok.

2.3 Aussehen: sattes kräftiges klares Rot, bräunliche mixporige semistabile krone, kaum carbonisiert Aroma: dezente röst malz note, dunkles Brot, untypisch schwach Antrunk: Midtrunk: leicht herb (orangenschale), röst aromen, Abgang: röst bitter, Mundgefühl: untypisch schwach und unausgewogen, kein öliges Mundgefühl Sehr entäuschend hätte mich gerade auf ein schönes sattes Red Ale gefreut.

3.3 Bottle at home, Nivala. Enjoyed straight from the bottle. Aromas and flavors: Some fruits, caramel... simple but surprisingly tasty.

3.0 Tapados keserű, szép habbal. Nem szűretlen. Édes

2.2 Recht dunkle Farbe, gegen das Licht gehalten tatsächlich rötlich. Süßlicher Geruch, Malz, etwas Traubensaft. Geschmack: Röstmalzig, röstig bitter, nochmal süßer Traubensaft. Ein bisschen süßstoffartig. Für nur 4,1 % Alk. relativ dicht. Recht rauer Nachgeschmack. Puh, nicht so wirklich gut.

3.4 Fles gekregen van Roelzie. Thuis geprobeerd met LiekevdV. Het is een licht troebel roodbruin bier met een dun beige schuim. Het heeft een moutige wat hoppige geur. De smaak is moutig en fruitig met een hoppige afdronk.

3.4 A: Mahogany, murky looking, medium sized tanned head which disappeared fairly quickly, left some lacing. S: Malty, sugar beet. T: Raspberry, malt, semi dark chocolate. M: Low carbonation, medium to thick texture, smooth enough. O: An OK take on a red ale, sessionable, would be nice to drink by the fire in a pub on a cold day.

3.5 Bottle from German Lidl, rich red-brown with a tan foam, malty-sweet and smooth, lightly nutty, woody and fruity, very nice.

3.2 Small foam and slightly carbonized, reddish colour. Fruity and malty aromas, with some hints of berries. Nice aftertaste, worth to try and good in general.

4.0 Douce, belle robe brune foncée, légèrement pétillante, légère amertume en fin de bouche, bonne bière !

3.5 0.5 l bottle from Lidl (in the center of Helsinki). Sweet caramel malts no sign of rosted malts. Quite nice and easy to drink.

3.2 Copenhagen 12/3 2021. 50 cl bottle from Lidl, Lygten, Kbh. NV. Deep red - almost burgundy - label with a free-flying mustache getting pinched by an hand. Pours almost clear dark amber with a mid-sized off-white head. Settles as thin patch of foam unable to cover the surface of the beer. No lacing. Aroma is medium intense wire a sweet, malty odor mingling with roasted notes. Caramel, biscuit and hints of brown sugar. Roasted malts. Medium carbonation. slightly thick, oily, lightly tingling texture. Flavor is medium intense with a fairly strong sweetness followed by a light sourish bitterness. Aftertaste is sweet and lingers for a while. Finish is toasted. Decent if somewhat generic Red Ale.
