Dungarvan Brewing Company Copper Coast Irish Red Ale at 4.3% ABV (C$5.15 at Willow Park Wine & Spirits, 500 ml, best before 1-May-2016, reviewed 17-Mar-2016)
Appearance: hazy pale amber with a massive fluffy ivory head, excellent retention and patchy lacing. (3/5) Aroma: bready and grainy malt, earthy, grassy, light fruit and nut. (5/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate-low bitter. (5/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, off-dry moderate bitter finish. (3/5)
Another Dungarvan brew with a completely ridiculous head, despite normal handling and a fairly careful pour – I’m starting to detect a trend here. Fairly bland overall, with a hint of cardboard in the finish. Yet another uninspiring Irish Red. (11/20)
5.5/10 #ryansbooze ryansbooze.com
