Irish Red Ale
Thanks to my bud Dan for the sample. It pours light brown with an average head and passable lace. The aroma is malty with the distintive buttery funky Garrison yeast, a with some spicey hops. the taste is firmly malty with roast and a little bit of hop bitterness and more funky yeast. A bit of butter, grain husk and cream corn finish off the taste. The finish is equal parts hops, malt and funky yeast esters. This beer is OK but it lacks the malt dimension of the Brown Ale, and has more of the off flavors. Kind of like mediocre homebrew.
