McFarland - Irish Red Ale (Netherlands)



McFarland seems to be a beer only found in Greece. It has an original name and a classic bottle design.
When you look closely at the bottle, it says it is brewed by Murphy Brewery. This famous Murphy's Stout beer maker. However, this beer is made in Greece. After a little research, I found out that this is actually a brand created for countries that don't like dark beer, after Murphy was acquired by Heineken in 1983. So, it doesn't really have an original aspect.
The taste doesn't live up to the expectations set by the brand and the appearance of the bottle. If you don't feel like having a standard lager at that moment, it can be an alternative. That was also the case for me.

Alc (ABV): 5.7%
Score: 7/10
