Review - The Tap Brewery's DP's Irish Red Ale
"Deep amber in hue with a bold multiflavor balanced with British hops. A taste that takes you home to Tipperary or South Chicago" -- The Tap Brewery
Within the context of the style, this is a fantastic offering. It pours a ruby-red color with a pinkish tinge, similar to that of cranberry juice. A light brown, fizzy head forms with fair lacing in its wake. Aroma is of harsh, sweet malts with hints of molasses. Initial taste is lightly sweet, ever-so-slowly shifting to a very light bitter finish with a buttery feel. Short duration. Light to medium bodied, it has a watery texture with lively carbonation.
This has a richer color than the Killian's, and is certainly better constructed. Amber said it's Hoptastic.
