Jul 18, 2009 On tap at the GI Clybourn brewpub. Poured a deep red, with minimal aroma. Primarily hoppy taste. Reminded me of a less-strong IPA. I enjoyed it as an after-dinner drink.

Jul 10, 2009 On tap at Goose Island Wrigleyville. Deep rich red color, with small off-white head. Aroma of roasted malt, mild citrus hops. Taste is nutty, toasty caramel malt. Crisp medium mouthfeel.

Jun 30, 2009 On tap at Goose Island Clybourn. Pours amber with a white head. Aroma is of grass, malt, light hops, and caramel. Taste is of grassy hops, grain, and pine. Has a bready malt backbone that evens the beer out. Lingering taste of caramel. Mouthfeel is light and heavily carbonated. Crisp and easy drinking, but nothing amazing.

Aug 6, 2008 Draft at Clybourn. Poured a slightly hazy dark orange color with an off white head. Smelled of flowery/citrusy hops and a bit of graham cracker. Light to medium bodied and on the dry side. I tasted caramel, citrus fruits, and toasted bread. Decent enough.

Aug 4, 2008 draft at brewpub- quite tasty- Irish ale? That’s weird, because it’s touted as a hoppy amber, and tastes fairly piney and citrusy. Nice dry hoppyness to the brew. A patron at the bar tipped me off to a nice little drink- a pint of the ipa topped with the celebration. Good beer.

Jul 26, 2008 draft at GI cly....pours a medium slightly hazy caramel brown with a thin wispy white head.... decent intermingling of caramel malt and grassy ops. more of that crystal malt than hops...similar to the nose, a favorable balance of malt and a moderate degree of grassy bitterness in the finish.

Jul 20, 2008 on tap at GI LPB. pours hazy amber with white head. nose has some nice hop notes of citrus and melon, some biscuity malt coming through too. flavor is citrusy with toasted malts. chewy, and the crystal malt used becomes cloying. pretty hopped up but not something i could drink more than a half pint of.
