Sep 17, 2005 Dusty malt aroma. Orange gold pour. Bland, dusty malt and earthy maybe potato flavor. Not offensive, not delicious. Finishes with lingering of almonds.

May 5, 2005 Nice copper color. Says it’s brewed with potatoes but I can’t taste any in there. Mainly a standard balance of malt and hops, mainly towards the malt. Somewhat thin body. Strange that it’s classified in this category; I don’t think think potatoes are classified as vegetables -- rather, they are tubers.

Sep 12, 2004 2004 ABR. The guy at the Finnegan’s booth swore up and down that this is a different beer than the one originally brewed by James Page, called Finnegan’s Irish Ale. Curious that both are made with potatoes and the proceeds from both go toward the Spud society. Regardless, I rated the earlier Finnegan’s awhile back and that was noticeably better than this one, so I’m guessing they deserve to be considered separately. Faint, apple cider aroma. Small, off-white head. Leaves a little bit of lace, but really isn’t overly attractive. Amber in color. No visible carbonation. Somewhat lively mouthfeel, but not too pleasant. Has an apple ciderish mouthfeel. Some off notes. Undercarbonated.

Sep 10, 2004 I have no idea why this is classified as spice/herb/vegetable. This is a standard amber beer in the class of Killians, but not quite that good. Light red in color. Some malt in the flavor. Thin.

Aug 1, 2004 Picked this up at the Space Alien Grill and Bar in St Cloud - cool place built for kids but they also sell beer - so can’t be all that bad! Has a light copper appearance with a thin white head; faint caramel aroma with some fresh lake water aroma as well. Flavor of sweet caramel and toffee; not much of a hop presence. Has a tad bit of a metallic mouthfeel and is slightly thin. Overall a decent change of pace.
