Flavor was malty and creamy smooth with some ameican hops and nice smooth american or irish yeast flavors. Reminds me of my own homebrewed red ale. Nice full aroma and mouthfeel and very smooth and creamy. Outstanding. ericnixon (719), Northampton, Massachusetts, USA

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jun 25, 2005 Aroma is rich in toasted mashmallow, toffeeish malted hops, and sea salt. A very English character that is almost candy-like. Flavor profile is incredibly complex. It starts off with soft caramel, moving to a dollop of hops blending with a dry chocolate, then finishing with a drying finish battling with hop flavor at the top of the palate. The entire flavor profile is wrapped in an encompassing, mouthfilling crystal malt character. This could best be described as toasting mashmallow on the beach over a campfire. My favorite from this brewery. lagermonkey (597), Marietta, Georgia, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 9, 2005 From a 12oz bottle. Best Enjoyed Before Nov 2003 (Review from September 2003)
Well, it’s definitely red...
Deep bright red with small quickly-dissipating white head. Lace evident. The smell is dry. A light sweet smell.
Taste is spicy and dry. Malty with hints of fruit. Nice dry hoppy finish. Light to medium-bodied. Quite tasty.
A very good red ale.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jun 22, 2009 Bottle. Poured with a very small, off-white head. Body is mostly clear with a trace of haziness, and a dark amber color. Good aroma... average maltiness present, some caramel, and light yeast. Great on the palate: smooth, medium-body with a creamy texture; soft carbonation. Progresses well to the terrific flavor: caramel and malt, nice and creamy, with a medium-duration finish. The beer does not look like anything special, but it’s easiest one of the best Irish Reds I’ve tasted... could drink this all day for sure.
