This is my latest attempt at an Irish Red Ale. I really like how it turned out. When Serving this try to keep the carbonation a little lower than you would normally do. I would try to keep it at 10PSI - 12 PSI on my system. I feel like I nailed the SRM and its a really light easy drinker and comes in at a low 4.3% ABV. So you can have more than one pint!
