Trafalgar Paddys Irish Red

Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 4 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 4

This was an awful attempt at an Irish red ale. A clear scar;ety pour with a very thin white ring. The aroma was weak caramel malt with a hint o' hops. The flavour was slightly sour (a Trafalgar trademark - but a bad one) with hints of caramel, and a bitter finish.

Can: Poured a clear medium amber color ale with a medium foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of dry unrefined grain is somewhat bland. Taste is also dominated by dry unrefined cereal taste with no discernible hops and not that great of a drinkability factor. Very bland average for style and though there is no brewing flaws there is nothing too spectacular to speak of.

The beer poured a translucent fire-engine red colour with a bubbly tan coloured head. The aroma was sour malts and metal. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was grainy malt with a very acidic feel.

Pours a deep brown colour with an almost 2 finger off white head. Head sticks around for a bit and leaves some lacing. Doesn't look bad at all. Weak aroma, slightly sweet, malty. Has a roasted taste, nutty with a bitter finish, but overall the flavour is bland. The mouthfeel is decent, smooth with lower carbonation.

bottle: Pours a dark cola-red with a fair off- white cap that has modest retention...some lacing. Aromas of caramalt over a distinct vegital tone....wierd! Tastes better than it smells medium bodied chewy texture. Malty,toasty sweet, some cocoa then this God-awful veggy taste....I think its the hops trying to make an appearance but it tastes and smells like celery..weird!

This Irish red shares a history with the old Lett family receipe, which is also the same one as used in the MolsonCoors Killian Irish Red. The Trafalgar take I dont think merits much more acredations than the Killians, as its an overall unimpressive beer. Poured with absolutly NO head what-so-ever and was incredibly flat, a terribly dull textured beer. Flavour was candy like, alittle too sweet and seemingly artificial. I dont know about this Trafalgar brewery, their beer upsets me. Id love to like it, but all of their efforts seem to fall well short. This one is no expection.

at the time i tried this i was absolutley hooked on red beers; rickards' was the archetype for me, so i thought i'd take a chance. this beer was so bad i kept trying to pawn them off on someone else. trafalgar makes a good mead, they should stick to that and give up brewing beer.

Pours a slightly unclear brown-amber with a fizzy head and some lace. Strong aromas... maybe hop. Seems pass the best before date taste-wise... even if I cannot find any. Horrible sour taste at first (found in outdated brews). Then, just plain flat. Nothing. No punch. As all the Trafalgar products I tried as of yet, none have impress me. Keep on trying.
