Tonight’s new beer was Red Headed Stranger Irish Red Ale from Bentonville Brewing Co. I’m no stranger to Irish reds, thanks to Killian’s, but this one is so much better.
This is a delightful brew that’s not very bitter. I certainly tasted the earthiness and toffee in this one. It was dark, so I’ll take their word for the deep ruby color. This is a beer I could certainly see myself sipping on regularly.
5.4% ABV

From the brewery:
This iconic beer style harks back to the early roots of craft brewing, but is no less deserving still of a place among the rows of “Pastry this” and “Hazy that” that seem so ubiquitous on the shelves these days. Smooth bodied, deep ruby in color, and offering a mild earthy hop aroma with a gentle bitterness and notes of toffee, toast, and black tea. This ale is one of our favorites, and just may be one of yours as well.
