Dull old gold color. Aromas and flavors of cocoa nibs, grass, and caramel and brown bread with a supple, soft, effervescent, dry medium body and an appealing, medium-length finish that shows touches of honey, dried apricot, and toasted seeds. Exactly what you want for the style, just missing a glass of whiskey in the other hand.

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.
