Irish red ale is a type of ale originating in Ireland. The slightly reddish colour comes from the use of roasted barley, in addition to the malt. The beers are typically fairly low in alcohol (3.5% ABV typically), although stronger export versions are brewed.
A red ale tastes less bitter or hoppy than an English ale, with a pronounced malty, caramel flavor.
In America the name can describe a darker amber ale, and some large commercial breweries produce a "red" beer that is actually a lager with artificial coloring, such as Coors Killian's Irish Red.
