hopIQ found 10 beers with the same fruity and berry character as Red Empress. The brewery calls this an Imperial Red Ale: a stronger reading of the top-fermented Irish red ale, which it counts alongside dry stout among the classic Irish styles. It is bright copper with a slightly brownish head. Bouquet and flavour deliver what the colour promises, with earthy and fruity notes of red berries, delicate caramel and bread crust, plus soft, rum-like undertones of barrique and dried fruit. The finish is mild and soft. Suggested with hearty stews, lamb and wild boar. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
