Irish Style Light Ale?

[timg]

Hi guys,

Received this kit with some kegging equipment I bought. I have no real clue what type of a beer a "Irish Style Light Ale" is? Is it a pale ale, is it red?

The reason I ask, I want to tweak the kit some, try to give it some flavour but I don't know where I'm starting from. For example can I just treat it is 1.8kg of pale LME with low hop flavour/bitterness? Therefore I can really start with any recipe that includes pale LME?

Thanks guys, really hoping to make something decent out of this 'free to me' kit.

Yeah you can probably treat this at light hopped LME. There wont be much to this I would imagine. Id start with just adding some hop flavor I think.

A bit more googling on my part seems to indicate that Irish Ales are typically copper/red in color? I guess this doesn't really matter as far as flavour is concerned, compared to simply the color?

Thanks
