Red Irish Ale Popular Irish recipe, with reddish, amber and copper colour. Very dense and very aromatic, with a pronounced hoppy character. The alcohol content normally ranges from 4.0 to 6.0%. Famous brands producing red ale are McGrath’s, Smithwick’s and O’Hara’s Amber Ale With its typical amber colour, this ale combines the strength and density of the dark beers with the aromatic and fruity character typical of the light styles. Moderately bitter, hybrid style with a saturated aroma and a hint of tinge, the ember brings balance in the world of dark and light brews. In other words, suitable for any time and occasion.
