Irish Red Ale Tasting

The Irish Red Ale is ready to taste and with ever beer you make, its extremely important to taste it as a professional would. Go through each element of the beer to ensure its quality and also to see how accurate you or the brewer is on the style that they intended for. I will be going by the Beer Judge Certification Program guidelines, which are used in every beer competition in the world. Here is a link to check out the style guidelines (http://www.bjcp.org/2008styles/style09.php) Now on with the tasting notes.
