ABV: 5.0
IBU: 12

Coming to us from Ireland, this tasty brew has gone by a number of different names over the years. I first tasted it a couple of decades back when it was labeled "Murphy's Irish Amber," but according to my research online, that's the same beer as "Murphy's Irish Red," which I recently had the pleasure of tasting.

Pours a light copper color with red hints. Smells malty and bready with perhaps a little caramel sweetness.

To the taste, sweet with a touch of carbonation. That caramel is a little stronger in the taste, maybe with a little toffee.

Smooth enough you could drink this stuff all day long.
