Commercial Description:
Finnegans Irish Amber is brewed with potatoes and three varieties of imported two-row malts. The beer is pale amber in color but light in body. A gentle hop bitterness compliments its complex malt character.

Finnegans is currently available on tap and in liquor stores throughout the state of Minnesota. Finnegans is unique in that 100% of the profits are donated to The Finnegans Community Fund which disburses grants to help the working poor and at-risk youth throughout Minnesota.

Pint draft at Kips in St Louis Park, MN. Pour is clear orange reddish golden with not much head. Aroma of some sweet maltiness, a touch of grass. Taste is the maltiness, some chemical flavor that is a bit off putting. Palate is thinnish, quick clean finish. Not offensive, just not too much going on. Appreciate the social aim of the brewery.

Pours a clear amber with very thin white head. Aroma is very light malts, but not too much beyond that. Flavor is light matls/hops. hints of citrus. Light body.

This is one of the more interesting beers that I’ve recently had. Aroma of malt liquor--unassuming and light. Appears dark amber with very little head. Tastes of malt and lemons with a light hops aftertaste. Very nice brew--enjoyable and worth visiting again.

Okay, an irish ale brewed in St. Paul should be better, but when you’re at an event or hockey game at the Xcel Center, this is great compared to the standard Bud/Miller offerings. It has less body than I woul want and leaves a bit of a dirty aftertaste.

red pour with a small white head. Malty aroma. Flavor is also plenty of caramel malts. I swear I get potatoes too. Finishes watery. Not bad.

A copper color with a white head. The aroma is caramel and sweet potatoes. The flavor has a veggie presence with some caramel and dark fruit. According to my rating notes not in my hand writing....... Cheri has big tits.

12oz bottle, no date thanks to Eric (heemer77). Clear amber golden with a small off-white head that faded to a thin ring after about 10 seconds with no film. Aroma has some toasted grain and a bit of caramel. There is also the rubber from the top of the screw on growler caps--that bead of rubber, and a tinge of pear skin. Flavor has some corn and toasted grain with a bit of nondescript fruity tang. Toasty finish with minimal hop bitterness. Lifeless body, save for the faintest tingle of carbonation that leaves the body a fair amount heavier than it actually is. Not any good.

Bottled. The body is dark amber with a lightly off white head. The aroma has some apples and caramel. There is also some light citrus. The taste is bitter orange peels with some nice black pepper spice in the finish. There is also a little bit of root vegetable character. The body is highly carbonated. A little strange.
