Flavius: Sorry Meterman more bad news for the bottle. The medical journal
Lancet reported that approximately 4% of all deaths worldwide are related to alcohol. It is also thought that costs associated with these complications account for over 1% of a countries GDP. For
Canada that means over $13 billion dollars a year.
Meterman: Cheers to that!
Moylan's Irish Red Ale

B
Taste +4
I know this sounds odd but it almost tastes red. Is is possible for colour to have a taste? Right out of the glass its starts with a slight bitterness mixed with good carbonation. The nose is lush
with sweet caramel and flowery hops. After the initial bitter/fizz leaves, it is on to the next phase which is a full, thick caramel malt sweetness. Upon further tastings, one can pick out slight earth flavours and peanut butter. Just when you think it is all over, you are hit with a stealth hop bitterness. The bitterness is very tame.
Aftertaste +1
The tongue tingling from the bitterness/alcohol doesn't last very long.
Alcohol Content +1 6.5%
Value +1
This is a great bitter/sweet ale, in the Irish style. I plan to get it again.
Ingame Enhancement +1
More maps for L4D are pouring into the Nightware4Dead server research department. Aqualung has been kept busy.
Overall 8/10
Anything by Moylan's brewery reeks of quality. If you like your ale's a little on the sweet side, try this one. Other notable Irish red ales include Smithwicks and Caffrey's.
