Mar 17, 2008 Oh, just to be predictable, a few irish style beers for st patricks. This is not a bad start. Pours a nice dark copper, an orangish head the fades pretty fast. The smell is sweet with a hint of grassiness. A nice malty flavor to it, but the body is a bit overly carbonated and bright to my tastes. It’s a solid effort.

Mar 9, 2008 12 oz. bottle served in a shaker pint.
Pours a pretty reddish gold with a thick head. Crisp hop aroma with caramel malt.
Sweet maltiness up front, caramel. Medium bodied. Creamy mouthfeel. Fresh hop flavor. Very easy drinking. This beer is a great example of the beauty of fresh, local beer.
Nothing spectacular, but when you get it in season, it really shines.

Mar 8, 2008 Deep clear- amber in color, has a nice white head that doesn’t last very long, light malty bready aroma. Sweet caremel malty flavor, mild hop profile it does have a nice clean dry finish, medium body, seems kind of bland, overall not all that bad but average.

Mar 4, 2008 Poured from the bottle an almost clear, darkish copper color with a thin, short-lived light tan head. Hops and yeast dominated the aroma. Nicely hopped and carbonated. Would agree with an earlier rater that mentioned the similarities to Fat Tire -- except this is a bit stronger, with a bit more bitterness and overall flavor. Nice brew, but wouldn’t be something we’d rush out to buy more of.

Mar 2, 2008 Hoppy, yeasty aroma with a thin head. Nice lacing and carbonation. Warm, rich amber/light brown in color. Bitter and hoppy from start to finish, sharp and crisp. Sure beats Killian’s.

Feb 28, 2008 full disclosure: I don’t love irish ales. This one was okay but not fantastic. had on draft at Dressels in St. Louis, good looking beer but a bit sour.
