Flying Dog - Lucky SOB Irish Style Red



Flying Dog - Lucky SOB Irish Style Red

Lucky SOB is a 5.5% ABV Irish style red ale brewed with four-leaf clovers.  It comes from Flying Dog out of Frederick, MD.

Pours a nice dark amber red color with a two and a half beige white head that fades fairly quickly.  Light lacing that doesn't stick around for too long.

The aroma is mostly herbs and spices with some caramel and scotch.  Not too much going on in the smell.

Like the aroma, there's not too much going on in the taste.  Herbs and spices are the main tasting notes with a decent bitter finish.  Slight nuttiness and bready notes along with some scotch.  Medium bodied with a dry finish.

Lucky SOB is a decent Irish style red ale but probably not one that I'd return to.  It seems like an interesting combination with the four-leaf clovers and is worth a try for the novelty.

Score: 3/5 (Untappd Caps)
