Number 100! Woo! While I know I've actually drank more than 100 a while back, I'm just glad I made it to 100 here on my blog. It's a milestone moment, and I'll celebrate by drinking scotch. Or whisky. Yeah, I'll celebrate by drinking something that's not beer. When I go long spells without a review or without drinking beer, it's probably me subbing in a liquor or a bottle of wine. Nice to mix it up sometimes.
Now where was I? Oh yes, for #100, I wanted to drink something that would be slightly relevant to the times..and since we're so close to St. Patrick's Day, I thought it'd be a great time to bust open Conway's Irish Ale. The beer was poured into a pilsner glass. Copper colored with three fingers of off-white head. Light retention, light lacing. The aroma is quite neutral, but I could pick out some malts, grains, caramel.
There's a light sweetness that starts on the tongue, then it opens up into some lighter hop notes. I also can detect a metallic taste and I'm instantly reminded of Red Oak. And I love me some Red Oak. This one, being quite similar, made me a fan. Light to medium carbonated, the mouthfeel was a little slick. I think this beer would make for a great session beer, and I'd be glad to have many a session with this one. Solid beer, this one would be a keeper for me! Would it be a keeper for you? Feel free to let me know!
