Three Floyds Brian Boru

 
 

A 6% abv Irish-style red ale, dry hopped with "shit-loads" of Amarillo for a fresh, fragrant aroma.  The bitter hops are kept in check, leaving this beers malty character really shine through. 

Nice.  The aroma is strongly reminiscent of 3F's Gumball Head.  Great thick head with pretty lacing.  The body has low carbonation, but that hardly detracts from the beer.  In fact, it just makes it smoother.  Great flavor, enhanced by the flowery hops, low bitterness, tons of malt character.  Very nice beer.
