Red Sky Irish Style Ale
Frankenmuth Brewing Co.
Frankenmuth, Michigan, USA
5.25% abv
23 IBU
This is the craziest beer I have ever experienced. It is just too inconsistent.
I drink it from a bottle and I really like it – it had a nice malt and spice style;
I pour it from the bottle to the glass and it is okay – I don’t notice the spice as much;
I have had this on tap at the brewery and it was a malt bomb that I could not finish.
Poured into a pint glass:
Appearance: it’s a clear red with an amber tint, the off white head was bubbly and with an aggressive pour I barely got a one finger head.
Aroma: lager like, some sweet malts,
Flavors: lightly toasted grains and malts, light caramel, very light grassy hops, light spice
Mouthfeel: clean, too clean, no aftertaste, watery edge, low to moderate carbonation.
My Strength Rating: 2 – for this review
From the Bottle
The carbonation comes across stronger than from the glass (moderate). The grassy and spicy hops are a little more noticeable but nothing that stands out. The malts are still the same.
The only thing I can think of with this Ale is that it depends on what batch you get for the ones I had last summer (in the bottle) had a better spicy style. But, I then went next door to the brewery and had it on tap and it was a malt bomb.
