great lakes conway irish red

anyone ever try this? had a few drafts last nite excellent beer wish i could find a copy cat kit...

I agree. Had this beer last season and thought it was great then too. Frankly I've never had a bad beer from Great Lakes. Even styles I don't particularly care for taste good coming from them.

I just had one tonight at dinner and I tasted a slightly earthy very slightly smokey/roasty flavor. I've had a similar character coming from Wy1968 on a Honkers Ale clone I made. The overall grain bill seems pretty simple - maybe pale malt and Crystal 60? I think most of the smoother character is based on the yeast/fermentation. It's got a nice malty, slightly sweet finish.

It's the Crisp Malt 77. Delicious dark English crystal malt.

Thanks, that helps too. I later saw this thread: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/recipe-feed-back-irish-red-ale-291181/

I think the posters there are suspicious of the GL listing and think that there might be other grains in there too.
