Tasting Notes

  • Appearance: Ruby red with a soft off-white head.

  • Aroma: Caramel, toasted malt, and a touch of earthy hops.

  • Mouthfeel: Smooth, medium-bodied, and easy-drinking with a clean finish.

About the Brewery
O’Hara’s Brewery (Carlow Brewing Company), founded in 1996, is widely regarded as a cornerstone of the Irish craft beer revolution. At a time when the market was dominated by mass-produced lagers, O’Hara’s reintroduced authentic Irish styles such as red ale, stout, and wheat beer, helping to revive a tradition that was fading. Today, their beers are exported worldwide, yet they remain firmly rooted in Carlow, producing craft beer Ireland can be proud of.

Food Pairings
This bottled Red Ale is an exceptionally food-friendly beer. Try it with roast meats, lamb shanks, or shepherd’s pie, where the malty sweetness complements the richness of the dish. It also pairs beautifully with semi-soft cheeses such as gouda or mild cheddar, while desserts like apple crumble or treacle sponge are lifted by the caramel notes in the beer.

If you’d like to explore similar options, check out our Red and Brown Ale collection, which highlights a wide variety of Irish and international interpretations of this classic style.
