Samuel Adams Irish Red:
Evening one and all, now that the internet is back up, lets talk beer. Today’s brew is another “special” beer from Sam Adams, their Irish Red. As the photo shows, this pours very well (happy with the beer head, Jeff?) and it lingers forever in the glass, lasting almost halfway through my consumption. The beer has no real nose of note other than roasted malts, nothing surprising or complex, just…well that. The taste is about the same as Shiner though without the spices. This beer is probably the first “Meh” beer of the week, while each week of this month’s exploration has featured a so-so beer, I was rather surprised that this one came in this bottle from Sam Adams. I really wanted this one to succeed with it being an Irish beer but alas it really fails to live up to the potential in my mind. Maybe I’ve had to many amber’s lately.
