This beer is not dry like the Great Lakes Conways Irish Ale I had recently; instead it is lightly sweet (but somehow unsatisfying) and very thin feeling. Not a huge fan... This beer pours a dark ruby red with good white head formation. Aroma is a lightly sweet malt smell, with perhaps some honey flavors? It smells a bit like a honey brown to me. Flavor is lightly sweet, with a very thin mouthfeel. This beer is rather drinkable.

Pours light copper with off-white tan head. Good malt and caramel aroma with a flavor to match. Decent.

Orange/amber with a thick tan head. Very effervescent. Aroma of caramel and sweet malt. Flavors are more of the same. Smooth finish. Pretty good interpretation of the style.

Bottled. Poured a slightly murky coppery-orange with a quickly-receding cap of off-white head. Nose was of sweet pulled caramel, earth, and herbal pine notes. Flavor was of sticky caramel with earth and mild herbal bitterness.... light on the palate at first, but became sticky toward the finish. Not a bad session ale, but rather one-dimensional.

Bottle. Pours coppery brown with ruby egdes and a 1-figer off-white head. Aroma of caramel malt, some red grapes, and some nuts. Medium to light body, with flavors of caramel malt, almond, and vinous fruit.

12oz bottle. 12oz bottle. Poured a dark orange color with an averaged sized head. Aromas of caramel, a little earthy and toasted malts. Tastes of caramel and toasted nuts. Thinner body.

Not too bad. A single-fingered head caps its reddish amber body. The nose is fruity, cherries and apples, with caramel and a faint florlal hopping. The flavor is limited to the fruits and malt, the hops seeming to fade out of sight... but I didn’t expect much bitterness for the style. Quite drinkable.
