Dry Irish?

This brew came out well (as an Irish Red Ale) but with the dry hopping, it is extra special. The hops (1/2 oz cascade) brought out the nice maltiness of a Irish Red and the extra flavor (not bitterness) the dry hops imparted is great, and balances it all out nicely.
So good it did not last long enough

Wow! I made this for a brewfest, but it did not last long enough to make it there! I'll make this one again, the dry hops has really grown on me (not real bitter, but a budload of flavor and aroma)!!! Beutiful sparkling clear red color.
