Davey’s Irish Red Ale
Gold Dot Beer

Handsome clear red amber brew with long-lasting foam in the Fullers pint. Pleasant beer smell with an herbal hoppy note. Light body and plenty of spritz on the tongue. A more distinct bitter aftertaste than usual for the style. I’d call it a Red Pilsner, but in any case it’s quite drinkable and just a hint of sweetness. Some malty flavor but more in the roasted grain taste. From the 16 oz can purchased at Elizabeth Station. No apparent date.

16-ounce can purchased at the Tanasbourne Town Center location of New Seasons Market in Hillsboro, OR. Date stamp reads "PINCH ME 02/19/26". Enjoyed in an English tulip-style half-pint glass.

A crisp little morsel, weighing in at an adorable 4.2% and loaded with toasty malt that's dry and satisfying. Gorgeous auburn color with a short-lived head of vanilla foam that shrinks to a thin rim of bubbles that punches way above its weight in the lacing department. The malt reveals layers of roasted cashews, wheat toast, and a ghostly presence of caramel. A thin thread of sweetness ties the flavors together. Finishes dry but not bitter. Light body with expressive carbonation. Another winner from Gold Dot.

Pours a light amber color with a medium to small head. Nice malt aroma with a light bitterness in the taste, the way a good Amber Ale should be. Very enjoyable beer, taste is under 20 IBUs which is the way a good red/amber should be. Slightly dry finish.
