Review is from notes. I had this on tap at the Arcade/Brewery complex in mid-April of 2019.

I'm glad to see commercial brewers putting out Irish Reds, as the style is underrated and underrepresented in the contemporary craft beer scene. Unfortunately, this iteration comes across more like a solid homebrew than a commercial product.

The pour is pretty. The hop profile is American. It starts off hoppy, moves into peat-flavored malt, and ends with some weird yeast nodes. The balance is way off and it's not really to style, but it's not bad.
