Mar 5, 2008 pours darker amber with a small khaki head. Nutty malt nose, caramel and a kick of hops at the end. Hops were citrusy and a bit herbal. One of the better Irish red ales that I’ve had in a whiile.

Mar 3, 2008 12 oz bottle. Brownish amber with a nice white head. Grainy aromas with a hint of citrus hops. A very malty start and a decent hoppiness at the finish. Not bad but doesn’t stand out that much.

Feb 27, 2008 Pours a great red color. Malty aroma. Tasted starts out malty, gets hoppy in the middle and then sweet as it lingers on your tongue. A good beer, but nothing really makes it stand out from the pack.

Feb 26, 2008 This is another BOTM selection. I don’t run across red ales very often so my benchmarks are low. Has a malt aroma with nice carbonation and a great red color. Nice even head that drops relatively quick. Taste and hops open up once the chill is gone. Would like to taste on tap.

Feb 23, 2008 Bottle. Pours a clear, effervescent red with a generous and lingering tan head. Aroma is caramel malt with a nice citrus hop characteristic at the end of the nose. Flavor is grain up front with a nice hop bitterness and slight malt sweetness at the end. Remains very smooth and drinkable throughout.
