Irish Red
Coddington Brewing Co.

Growler with a friend. We both poured into a mugs. The appearance was a burnt copper color with a cap of a little white foamy head. Some messy lace. The aroma had some earthiness/grassiness up front, slight nuttiness, dried sweet wood and a good malt base. The flavor was somewhat malty sweet with the nuttiness coming in to round it all out. Aftertaste was malty and nutty. Finish was somewhat smooth, slightly dry. The palate was almost medium bodied, just a touch under. Sessionability was there. Carbonation was there. Overall, seemed like a little bit of an Americanized Irish red ale, lacking some of the expected herbal qualities I normally get.

4/8/16 Delicious

Had this on tap, was told it was 6.1 ABV.

Had a subtle malt and hop aroma, slight malt sweetness characterizes this darker amber ale, with a soft but noticeable fruitiness that bounds into a dry finish.

Nice brew and worth a try but nothing special.

On tap at the Coddington Brew Pub.

Poured a deeper copperish color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of all around maltiness with some floral hops. Tastes of the same maltiness and floral hoppy finish. I found the mouthful to be on the thinner side.

Notes from: 9/18/06

The best Coddington beer I have had as of yet. It poured a deep red with a thick head that took me drinking half the beer before it went away. Sticky lace at first formed, but dissolved before long. The aroma was just slightly of malt, but the floral aroma of the hops came through very nicely. The flavor had a touch of clove, and the hops were wrapped around fruit tones. The finish was light and crisp, albeit with a very slight sourness.
