Beer Name: Thirsty Dog Irish Setter Red (#85)
Style: Red Ale
Country: USA
Size: 16 oz draft
ABV: 5
From the book:
Irish Setter Red is a medium to light bodied with freshly ground caramel malt flavor that has no bitterness. The combination of American caramel malt and the finest Kent Goldings hops from England add an inviting "noble" flavor and aroma to this beer.
When I first started drinking beer, one of my favorite brews to keep in the fridge was Killian's Irish Red. I thought it was a fantastic beer. Nothing against Killian's, but I am sure I would find it lacking these days. The first time I ever sampled a Thirsty Dog beer was at the Thirsty Dog brewing Company restaurant in Fairlawn/Montrose, up on the hill near the Fridays and Wasabi. We went there for lunch one weekend and I got a sample glass of this very beer. I liked it a lot back then, but I think it has lost a little bit of the appeal since that time (about 5+ years ago I believe). I guess red ales aren't my thing these days...
5/10
