Boom Island Brewing, Minnetonka, MN.

Let's have an Irish Red for St. Patrick's Day, because someone is celebrating it somewhere, just not here. Where will they sing "Danny Boy" when all the bars are closed for coronavirus pandemic? Who will sling corned beef and cabbage and pour the Guinness? Tough times all over. Let's just not die, people.

Clear, bold crimson color, slim white head.

In the nose: sweet, malty. Earthy. Light hops.

In the mouth: Minor bitterness. Touch of hops. Mostly malts. Rich and sweet, to a point. Nicely balanced, with all the elements intact. Perfectly serviceable red ale. Medium bodied, easy drinker.
It's alright.

Now, let's play The Chieftains and pretend it's an Irish pub, or something...sigh...

With notes of bis­cuit, roast­ed malt, and light tof­fee this Irish Red Ale is a tasty and easy-drink­ing beer.

Song for this beer is a natural. I just yanked this one randomly off YouTube:
