End of the Rainbow Irish Red

This was originally brewed for the 2010 April shop brew. I brewed up a second batch a couple of months later at home. This beer won Best of Show at the 2010 Octoberfest Competition. It is very malty with mild bitterness and little hop flavor or aroma. It has a pleasing red color from the small addition of roasted barley added to the grist.

Looks good Diane, interesting how you went with ingredients from the UK. If you have any left, bring it to the next meeting, I would be very interested in trying it.

Cheers,
David Lester
