hopIQ found 10 beers with the same caramel and malty character as Murphy's Irish Red. Launched in 1983 for export markets and brewed to a recipe kept under the Murphy's name, today no longer in Cork. Barley malt with a small share of roasted grain gives a clear reddish-copper colour and a bready, malt-driven aroma. Caramel and toffee lead on the palate, with a grainy, biscuity dryness underneath. A light earthy hop bitterness closes a clean, medium-light finish that stays well short of roast harshness. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
