Irish Red Ale

A variation on the English Pale Ale, the Irish Red Ale leans more on the malt flavors than its English counterpart.

Ranging in color from a ruby amber to reddish copper, the Irish Red Ale gets its characteristic appearance from the inclusion of roasted barley. Malt character gives caramel, toffee and toasted malt flavors, while hop flavor and aromas are kept fairly low. A fairly dry finish, and moderately light body.

Best served cool, at 46-54 degrees, and in a pint glass or beer mug.
