This beer is what it claims, not a normal red. The amarillo hops really pop. (Sounds like a good Dr Seuss book for hop heads!) They are really out front in this beer. Very drinkable beer that will please any "real" beer lover. Don't buy this expecting Killian's! That would be an insult to Brian Boru and I would hate to see him kill or maim you! Brian Boru is definitely different from other Reds and leans a little more towards the IPA side on the hop factor. $6.99 a bottle here in the Great State of Ohio which just happens to be right next to Indiana.

Musical Pairing: Black Label Society "Order of the Black" OverLord- I could picture Brian Boru singing "I am your Overlord' everything above and below" while mercilessly crushing Mayberry. Meanwhile Barney and Andy tremble with fear in a corner of the sherif's office waiting for their demise. "Floyd" the Barber will of course be spared.
