Batch 137 Irish Red tasting notes

Cold

Pours light brown with orange hue, big fine tan head that hangs on for a while, light haze

Aroma earthy hop bitterness/tartness, subtle roast underneath, dirty yeast?

Mouthfeel medium body, heavy carb cleanup, clean yet roasty

Flavor roast malt up front, stone fruit esters underneath, decent hop crunch at end, some earthy/dirty flavor throughout

Finish roast/bitter/big carb washup

Overall roasty flavored beer without deep color.  Main yeast flavor is light and pleasant, but something got in there a little to dirty it up some.  Hop balance seems good to me, probably too much for style.  Not my favorite style.
