WHITE OWL - DIABLO - Irish Red Ale
History about Irish Red Ales :- This is a beer that has limited history. 'Red Ales' are mentioned in Irish poems dating back to the 8th & 9th century. It later originated in the town of Kilnenny(Ireland) in 1710. The modern styling is very different from the Red ale spoken in the poems and is very similar to 'English Ales'. The roasted barley added gives the beer a dark red colour.

Alcohol Percentage :- 4%-5% ABV
White Owl Brewery PVT. LTD🦉
Handcrafted In India🇮🇳
Appearance :- The beer is Ruby Red in colour. Very small head was formed with low head retention. Carbonation is high. Small to medium bubbles were formed on the head.
Aroma :- On the nose roasted malt aromas with hints of light caramel and toffee along with Red fruit notes(sour strawberry) were observed.

Flavor :- Sweetness of the malt is felt with extremely low bitterness. Hints of Spices(star anise) and aftertaste of cola was observed.

Mouthfeel :- The beer is Light bodied and very crisp on the palate. Sweetness of the malt is felt with hints of caramel and toffee. Low on alcohol easy to drink. Very low bitterness was 

Overall impression :- This is a very simple easy to drink beer with low on bitterness and alcohol content. The colour makes it even more interesting because in the Indian market you do not have alot of beers which are red and bottled. This seems like a festive beer for me and due to its colour I feel this is perfect beer for the Christmas season. One can enjoy multiple pints and spend quality time at home with family and friends without getting hungover soon.
