Commercial Description:
An Irish style red (amber) beer. Light in finish but bold in taste. Melanoidin malt is added for the red color and the spicy finish comes through from the Chinook hops.

Has a hazy, murky (particles) red (rose petals) pour with no head, just a few bubbles to make a small ring, aromas of faint toasted malt and caramel, not much on the nose, flavors of tasted malt and caramel, at least there is more flavor than there is aroma, mouth feel seems to be flat, not enough carbonation, kind of a so-so beer here, oh well, that happens every once in a while.

Bottle… Clear copper ale with little to no head. The aromatics are malt-forward – light caramel and plenty of toffee. Medium to full-bodied with gentle carbonation. The sweet, malty flavor reflects the aroma with rich essences of caramel and toffee. Pleasant, lightly sweet finish. Kudos to daknole for providing the bottle!

Wow this was pretty bad. First of all it was flat as an 8 yr old. And the aroma was grainy and stank. Flavor was even worse. Puke.

Tap. Pours an expected amber with thick white head, decent lacing. Aroma of caramel malt, some bread, very slight hops, and a bit of some spice. Flavor matches well and makes for a decent, but definitely not spectacular amber ale.

12oz bottle 7/20/09 (Siciliano’s Market-Grand Rapids)-Pours a hazy dirty amber with a huge loose off white head. Aroma of malt, yeast, and bread. Taste of malt, slight sour, and fruit. This light to medium brew is pretty plain.

Bottle from Siciliano’s Market, Grand Rapids, MI. Big gusher. Murky, dirty copper with huge, big bubbled head. Aroma is yeast and bretty, biscuit and bready as well, dry. Dry biscuit malt and some red fruit. Medium to thin body with lots of that big bubbley carbonation. Not very good all around, but not offensive either.

Bottle pours amber color with off white head. Aroma is light malt. Flavor is pretty tasteless and unimpressive for the style. Mouthfeel is a bit thin. Overall a beer I won’t be buying again.

Bottle. Pours copper with very thick, like a soap foam head. Smells malty and dry, sorta metallic. Tastes overly sweet with corny flavored malts. Long lasting sweet aftertaste. Tons of body, but not enough variety in the flavor, just very plain malts. Nothing special.
