Irish AlesTasting NotesIrish ales, a minor category, are malt-accented, often with a buttery note (diacetyl), and are rounded, with a soft but notable fruitiness. Irish ales are similar to Scottish ales but are a bit lighter and paler. Hop bitterness is usually low. IngredientsIngredients used for brewing Irish ales include pale malt, along with smaller portions of crystal malt and roasted barley. Smithwick's uses 20% corn syrup - which is used quite often among brewers of Irish ale - and 3% roasted barley. The hops used for bitterness are typically Challenger, Northern Brewer, Northdown, and Target; Fuggle and Goldings are added for aroma.
