It was a case of Eight Degrees on cloud nine last month as the brewer’s Sunburnt Irish Red picked up the accolade of World’s Best Pale Amber at the World Beer Awards.
The verdict on the beer from a panel of international respected judges was: “Dry, a distinctly deep coppery red in colour, and full-bodied with a good head. There are some bitter, burnt raisin aromas, and it’s distinctly hoppy but with malts still present. Very assertive on the palate, with light carbonation and multi-layered flavours.”
McGargles landed the ‘World’s Best Stout’ for their export and Rye River also bagged some wins in the Taste and Design categories for their Intergalactic Yuzu and Retro IPA.
