“Hackett" Irish Red [secondary]

Racking date: Dec. 3, 2013

Racked to secondary after about 10 days fermenting at about 64 'F. Stored in our downstairs guest room to maintain a cooler temperature. Will give this another 7+ days to site in my furnace room at ~66'F before bottling. 

Observations:

OG: 1.019

Appearance: Amazing clarity! Looks almost like a lager in this respect. Bright red color, almost ruby with a very slight orange-ish hue.

Aroma: Light breadiness, some faint caramel.

Taste: Definitely tastes like an Irish red. Finishes clean. Slight oat flavor at end.
