Like an Irishman on holiday in the Canaries, this beer has a red tint but with a chilled out mellow feel.

A traditional Irish style with a twist, it has subtle caramel notes balanced with a pleasant fragrant aroma from New Zealand and Australian hops. Goes really well with roast beef, lamb or a traditional Irish stew, but beware: keep out of direct sunlight.

440ml Can from SuperValu, Fermanagh (£2.50):
Copper coloured with a translucent body & a quarter cm, foamy head that's light tan coloured & okay retention. Caramel malts & biscuit notes open the nose, I got some citrus, roasted notes & spice right at the end too but it's not that complex. The taste is a little fresher with citrus & floral flavours initially, before the biscuit malts come through. The caramel sweetness is lighter here but does feature while it's a medium body & the finish has a roasted bitterness to it but it was also a little water as well.

Pours copper with a fading head.
Nose shows soft fruity ester, some toasty and bready malt.
Flavours include sweet bready malt and spicy hops with a balancing bitterness.
Well-made.

Quite a nice red Irish ale. Sweet, maybe a little too sweet but not too strong in alcohol so could use this one as a session ale. Nice for a change from my usual IPA or APA. Not unlike 5am Saint from Brewdog. More understated. All in all a decent beer from a very good brewery. Would recommend.
