O’Hara’s Irish Red

The malt body is as impressive as a bock, albeit in a uniquely Irish way. With an incredibly smooth malt body complimented by caramel tones and perfectly balanced in bitterness, this Irish Red is much more complex than it’s mainstream rivals.

Brewery Location: Carlow, Ireland

Style: Traditional Red Ale

Colour: Dark ruby red and pours with a dense lasting white head

Scent: The malt aroma is immediately present and lasting with a tiny hint of roast barely, with an unmistakable fruity and almost herbal quality due to the late addition of Mt. Hood hops

Flavour: The addition of a pinch of roast barley during the brewing process lends a distinctive bite which is balanced by a crisp medium bitterness. The caramalt flavours follow all the way to the end

Food Pairing: Pairs well with baked and roasted main courses from the oven such as beef hotpot. Also excellent with winter soups. Delicious accompaniment to mature cheddar or soft goats cheeses.

Alcohol by Volume: 4.3%
