Colour:

Odour:

Strong Malt

General Thoughts:

Copper Coast is a great, pleasant, nice refreshing beer, that is smooth in taste. This beer has a strong malt taste to it, with a slight fruity taste that develops the more time the beer has to air. Copper Coast is a bottle conditioned beer, this is why you end up with a cloudy colouring to the beer and a slight sediment at the bottom of the bottle and glass when you pour. This also means the beer will develop more in the bottle, which as previously stated increases the more time the beer has to air. This is a moreish beer that makes you just want to keep going back for more. The overall flavour of the beer is quite mellow and subtle, however it coats the mouth well and leaves a slight bitter after taste that makes you want more and more of this beer. Copper Coast is a really nice, refreshing beer that I would recommend highly. It is a good red beer and can compete well with other red beers that are out there. This is another great example of a small Irish Brewery making a great beer that can be enjoyed by all.

Rebel Red

Hey Guys and Girls, hope your all doing well and enjoying the blog. Today I have gone for an Irish Brewery. Hope you all enjoy :) !!!

Beer Name:
Rebel Red

Brewery:

Franciscan Well Brewery

Brewed and Bottled:
Franciscan Well Brewery
Cork City,
Cork,
Ireland

Alcoholic Percentage:

4.3% Vol

Measure:

500ml

Taste:

Slight Bitter, Slight Hops, Smooth, Refreshing, Crisp

Colour:

Red Hint, Light Brown

Odour:

Slight Malt, Slight Hops

General Thoughts:

Rebel Red is a nice crisp beer, smooth in texture. This beer starts of with a slight sweetness and then goes into a little bitterness, characteristically of the hops in the beer. This is also a nice refreshing beer. Rebel Red is a mellow tasting beer, with subtle flavours, rather than a full flavoured beer that really packs a punch. The overall flavour of this beer is great but not as full flavoured as other Red beers that I have tried in the past. I am as I have said before, someone that looks for a beer with rich, deep, full flavours that make you want to dive back into them, unfortunately this doesn't do that for me. However I do want to make it clear this is a nice beer, its not a bad beer at all, in fact it would be perfect for someone that isn't a huge fan of Hops. On the whole I think that Rebel Red is a nice, mellow, subtle flavoured beer, that you will find refreshing and crisp.  

Price:

€3 - €4 (Average Price, Probus Wines & Spirits 23/11/12)
