Brewsters Brewing Company Lanigan’s Irish Ale Irish Red Ale at 5% ABV (C$6.79 at Quarry Park Calgary Co-Op, 650 ml, no bottle date or best before, reviewed 14-Mar-2016)
Appearance: clear medium amber with one fat finger of light beige head, good retention and lacing. (4/5) Aroma: caramel and toffee malts, light smoke, nutty. (5/10) Taste: moderate-high sweet, moderate bitter. (4/10) Palate: medium body tending to watery, moderate carbonation, malty slightly metallic finish. (2/5)
“Lanigan’s Irish Ale”, huh? Sounds about as authentic as “Tipsy McStagger”. A fairly uninspiring interpretation of a stye that I find unexciting at best. Thinnish and malty, without much to recommend it. (10/20)
