Grays Irish Ale

Brewed by Grays Brewing Company
Style: Irish Ale
Janesville, Wisconsin USA

Deep amber/orange with a wisp of white head. Malt, caramel, hops, pancake syrup in the aroma. Thin and watery body with some hop flavor that faded as soon as it was swallowed. I’m sure the Irish would not like to be associated with this brew.

bottle-hmm, i maybe one of the few people here that really liked this beer. clear deep copper hue with a small off-white head. light pine, apples, cherries, light mineral content, some light caramel malts with some huskiness. flavors show the good dose of hops-piney and lightly resiny. lots of apple sweetness, grain husk and some nice cherry notes as well. body holds up well and acentuates all the character in this fine session ale. finish is light and sweet. Very good!

A hearty yeasty aroma mixed with the fragrance of dried plums ascends from the glass to great the nose. It is a copper colored beer that produces no head. This beer is thin and watery and offers the palate a citrusy-malty flavor that fades fast.

On tap at Madison airport. Deep amber beer with a very nice golden head. No nose to speak of. Sweet biscuity malts dominate, little after that. Probably too bitter for style, but dry and highly quaffable. Late Goldings or Fuggles add a note of spice. Pretty good.

Deep, red amber in color. Small, off-white, creamy head maintains its presence throughout. Smells hoppy and of sweet caramel malts. Also picking up toasted nuts and maple honey. Taste is different than the smell, and for the worse. Hops overpower the malts and no balance is achieved. The result is a thin, bitter ale. Aftertaste is burnt almonds and caramel. Borderline classification as an old ale - finishes somewhere in between an amber and an Irish ale. Pass on this one.

english pint / caramel, socks, nuts, earth, and soap. meh. absolutely not special.

My bottle says Irish style ale. Ok, pour is red with a big white fluffy head. Aroma is hops with some carmel. Flavor is thick hops with a nice matly backbone. Reminds me of some rogue beers. Easy to drink and not to bad.

caramelly light amber color, head is a creamy beige ring around the glass. nose is earthy and grainy hops and caramelly malts, with a subtle chocolatiness. flavor is caramelly and chocolatey, with earthy hops as well. flavor and aroma are pretty much dead on with each other.
