Turkey Creek Brewery ― Turkey Creek Brewery
Irish Red Ale
Appearance
Pours a clear, deep amber to reddish-copper hue with a creamy, off-white head that lingers nicely. Moderate lacing clings to the glass as it settles.
Aroma
Inviting malt-forward aroma with notes of toasted bread, caramel, and a hint of toffee. Light earthy hops in the background with a mild nuttiness and a touch of dried fruit.
Taste
Smooth and balanced. Sweet malt flavors dominate upfront—think caramel, biscuit, and a light roasted grain character. Subtle earthy and floral hop bitterness emerges mid-palate, offering just enough bite to keep the sweetness in check. Clean finish with a faint touch of toasted bread crust and mild bitterness.
Mouthfeel
Medium-bodied with moderate carbonation. Creamy, soft texture on the palate with a slightly dry finish that invites another sip.
Overall Impression
A classic, easy-drinking Irish Red Ale with excellent balance between malt sweetness and hop bitterness. Approachable and sessionable, it’s a great option for fans of malt-forward styles looking for a smooth, flavorful pint.
