Beau's Strong Patrick Irish Red Ale

Strong Patrick
Irish Red Ale
6.7% ABV

This seems like an appropriate review for today. I've seen a number of bars tweeting that they've got Strong Patrick from Beau's on tap this weekend.

Jeff said it's not a bad beer, but he also questions how they are charging $8 for it.

"The barrel aging isn't overpowering - something which I've noticed in barrel aged beers I've had recently," he said.

"Lots of bready and toffee sweetness from the malt and with a roasted finish. I get more of the barrel in the smell along with some of that toffee. But it tastes a touch on the watery side," he said, calling it an "inoffensive beer - no big, bold, unexpected flavours."

But still, "It might be a decent change up for the standard Irish red, Smithwick's, this St. Patrick's Day."
