George Killian's Irish Red
George Killian's Irish Red goes back to a family recipe from a brewery in Enniscorthy, Ireland. Coors brews the American version under licence, and as a lager rather than an ale. A caramel malt kilned hotter and longer than usual gives the red-amber colour, with no colouring added. Toasted caramel and sweet malt lead the nose, with light bread and a faint fruity note behind. The palate is malt-forward and nutty, bitterness is mild, the head creamy and the finish moderately dry.
