Amber reddish color with a thick beige head with medium retention.
Aroma with predominant notes of caramels and biscuit malt over red fruits. It is missing some toasted notes.
Flavor with notes of toffee, biscuit, lychees, caramels, dank tired hops, raspberries and tea that gave me somewhat misinterpretation of oxidation. Dry aftertaste with a low bitterness. Alcohol of 6.5% is absent.
Medium body with good carbonation. It feels fuller given the type of carbonation.
I had understood this had 12 different types of hops for celebrating the 12 years of the brewery, though it did not really give complexity to the beer. This beer does not fit neither as an Irish red ale (it is missing toasted notes) nor American Amber- Red Ale (hops are tired and muted). Not bad, but I still wish better luck next year.
