A decent malt beer. Taste is pretty solid. It’s nothing spectacular but at the price point, it’s pretty good. I love dogs, because who doesn’t.. tried it out because of the label, but ended up pleasantly surprised . Will buy again!

Served in a snifter
This beer pours a ruddy shade of orange. It is topped with an inch of tan head that leaves some decent lacing.
It has a malty and sweet aroma. I get some toast.
The taste is caramel and biscuit. It is balanced with the perfect amount of hops.
Medium mouthfeel
This beer is hitting the spot on a rainy spring day. It is nothing earth shattering but a solid ale.

This was poured into a pint glass. The appearance was a fine ruddy red color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within about less than a minute. Light lacing roamed around the glass. The smell started off with a dry roasty caramel note and then allowed a decent sweet nuttiness to roll underneath my nose. The taste was basically the same. On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a decent sessionability about it. The carbonation was definitely there with a basking sharpness but nothing overbearing. There was a light dry caramel aftertaste and finish. Overall, I say this was a decent Irish Red ale I could do again
