Irish Red Ale |  5.40% ABV

Availability: Winter. bottle (314), on-tap (39), cask (1), growler (1), nitro-tap (1)

Notes:
Harpoon Celtic Ale features a deep amber color. The flavor is malty and complex. Celtic Ale has a moderate hop finish that, along with the generous amounts of malt, makes for a medium bodied, smooth, rich beer. Try serving Celtic Ale with a hearty stew… the beer’s robust character will complement the bold flavors.

look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.75

Enjoy By 04/15/13

A: Pours an amber/copper color with a fingers worth of head that reduces to a cap within a couple minutes

S: Plenty of Irish malts provide a slight sweetness. Also get some light fruitiness and grains

T: Follows the nose. Irish malts dominate, lending a slight sweetness which is balanced by some fruitiness and grainy character. Definitely hearty

M: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Hearty

O: A nice take on the style and one that could easily be drank in either the winter or spring. I'm not the biggest fan of the style, but this one is good. Worth a shot

3.11/5  rDev -11.4%
look: 3.75 | smell: 3 | taste: 3 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3

A - Pours a clear amber brown with a solid finger of dark tan colord head. Fantastic retention, nearly a quarter of an inch 10-15 minutes later. Lacing is ok.

S - Very sweet, cracker like aroma and a wee bit of sourness and spice.

T - Sweet caramel and friuts transcends into a slightly funky beady flavor. Mildly dry

M - Medium bodied, a little thick. Very smooth - really like the body.

O - Definitely on the lower end of the craft beer spectrum IMO - you could do worse however
