From tap to Imperial Pint glass. This is a custom brew for Merlyn's Rest in Minneapolis.
This looks more like a brown than a red ale, but I'm not that familiar with Irish reds. Pours a medium brown with a two-finger off-white head. Streams of bubbles from the bottom of the glass.
The aroma is malty with a light dose of bitter hopping.
The flavor reminds me of English brown ale, like a Newkie, maybe a bit more dry. Roasted malt comes through, but not strongly, as does the hops.
In the mouth, it's medium bodies with a bit of carbonation prickle coming through the overall smoothness.
To sum up, it's not overly complex, but reasonably enjoyable.
