Murphy's Irish Red By Belly Buddy John Carroll I have had a good deal of Murphy's Irish Red in my day- and in my nights. For the most part it's been the draft version as served in a dark, dank Irish Pub. It's dry, crisp and hoppy with a rich red hue. The bottled version is also dry, crisp and hoppy with a rich red hue- but it is extremely carbonated. It is carbonated to the point where its taste presents itself like a cheap domestic lager rather than a well crafted red ale. This is unfortunate but it's not unique to this beer. Over-carbonation seems to be part of the whole bottling process when it comes to beer since shelf life (and evaporation) are a big concern. Among the beers that I find to taste better on tap are Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, Harp Lager and Pete's Wicked Ale- but those bottled versions aren't bad, they're just not as good as the draft. The Murphy's bottled version is a little closer to bad. It's sad, but you may want to try a Killian's Irish Red if you want a better tasting beer- it's possible that America has once again improved upon a European original. But if you want to keep it Irish, I would recommend Harp lager over Murphy's Irish Red, especially if you're trying to keep it "reel" and red on St. Paddy's. If you find historical data about a brewer appetizing, it may interest you to know that the Murphy family has been brewing beer in County Cork, Ireland since 1856. In addition to their Irish Red they also brew an Irish Stout. The Murphy family is second only to the Guinness family in the production of beer in Ireland and it's export out of Ireland.

I loved it. 0 Joseph» Made the mistake of trying it tonight with Beamish and Boddington's. The latter two I like. Murphy's Irish Red is Wooly Mammoth piss. 10 warheart» well...in my opinion it is defenitely one of the worlds best beers. 7 danindenver» I ordered Murphy's Stout in an Italian restaurant, last night and was served this. It isn't bad. Better than Killian's. No unpleasant aftertaste. But I had really wanted the stout. 11 Sara» I tried this in Italy and it was the best beer i have ever tasted! 0 mike» best excuse to bring back proabation.absolute piss 3 Rappster» The Irish don't know how to brew a great beer 5 leaps» Far inferior within its class to the excellent Murphy's stout. While better than Killian's, the carbonation is a problem. Try Magic Hat Humble Patience for a killer "Irish" red, and send some down south from Vermont! 8 Kelby» Temperature is a vital element in every beer test, but particularly so here. Quaffed when slightly chilled (instead of 'ice cold') this is an exceptional brew. 8 Bart» totally not agree with the comment, I think Murphy's are much much better Key:   9 Rating   RED» Guests   GREEN» Registered Buddy Rate It & Post A Comment    IP Logged: 38.103.63.17 Rate It: Choose 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 Name (optional): Comment (max 250 char, optional): In order to post a comment, you must also supply a name.           Want to elaborate?
