A: Golden bronze, white head, little retention, slight lace. Irish Red?
S: Floral & earthy hops, caramel, sulfer & a light vegetable aroma (DMS).
T: Earthy, light caramel, balanced bitterness, slight vegetal corn/DMS and hints of butter. Irish Red?
M: Light to moderate body, well attenuated, dry/crisp. Nice, but nothing like an irish red.
D: Not an irish red, plus there's some brewing issues, but it is drinkable.

Picked up a sixer at the NSLC. This is made by Keltic in Truro, only comes in cans as far as I know.
Appearance: Pours a brilliant, deep, clear red with a tight foamy white head. Good retention, leaving plenty of lace.
Aroma: Bready malt, sweet caramel and diacetyl. Some citrus in there as well.
Taste: Very sweet and buttery. Bready and dry in the finish, pretty low bitterness. Leans on the malt side for sure.
Mouthfeel: A little thin, drinkability high.
Final Statement: The better of the two from this brewery. Its a great choice for quaffing from cans if you want a break from that macro stuff. I would take this fishing with me because of its portability in 355 ml cans and its not abrasive, overall pleasing flavour. It may lack a lot of the great things other craft reds have, but this brewery chose its market and it probably serves it well.
