Re: 2020 Exchange - December 4th - Irish Red
Good clarity, toasty/toffee like malt character, a bit of floral hops. I’m getting a bit of diacetyl but it’s coming through as more of a toffee/butterscotch type, not detracting. This is a good example of how a beer can fairly simple without being boring. It tastes like drinking an early craft beer at Your Fathers Moustache in college.

Very clean and dry. Got a lot of molasses aftertaste and a bit of toffee reminiscent of Halloween candies.
Thanks!!

Late chiming in on this one, since I had company over last night... and got a wee into the sauce.
I enjoyed this brew... very deep red hue beer with a nice roast malt flavour and a bit of sweetness. It drank quite smooth.
Yum!

Re: 2020 Exchange - December 4th - Irish Red
Not sure why but after starting this beer I got a vibe that it was made by jmacdonald, it reminded me of past classics like his angry leprechaun.
I'd call this a perfect example of an Irish red. It has a nice sweetness to it, the head retention is pretty great, colour is bang on, and the aroma is just right.
Solid beer, thanks for sharing!

I’m not one to ever reach for an Irish Red, but this certainly was a drinkable beer. Maybe a touch of diacetyl, but it works rather than detracts, I think.

As others have noted, definitely a traditional red brew that ticks all the boxes. Enjoying it a night late but sending thanks for a tasty brew.

Re: 2020 Exchange - December 4th - Irish Red
Thanks for the comments and glad this one turned out!
Decided to forgo the beer gun this year and just go back to traditional bottling.

Took a bit of time for me to warm up to this one, but by the end it was thoroughly enjoyable. Thanks!

Agree, took a few sips to warm up to it but it was a very drinkable beer. Not what I was expecting for sure.

Not a style I normally touch but this was a solid example of an Irish red. Thanks!

Nice sweetness to this one... agree with the molasses comment... a little darker than I would typically expect, but really tasty.
My dad stole most of this one tbh.

My tapatalk wasn't letting me upload photos last week... so here's the one I took. Look at that delightful hue.
