Jun 20, 2007 Pours a clear reddish amber with little head and no retention. Aroma is sweet malts with no hop character. Taste is very like iced tea with some roastiness and strawberry present. A fine beer but nothing remarkable -- I wouldn’t be interested in having it again, especially when it sits next to Commodore Perry!

Jun 10, 2007 Bottle. Pours a copper-orange coloured body with a small off-white bready head. Decent aroma consisting of dark bread and doughy sweetness. Toasty malt flavour is dominant throughout including some notes of cookie dough sweetness. No alcohol noted.

Jun 1, 2007 Rated 1/6/07: Seasonal Irish Amber from Great Lakes, named after their grandfather an honor for sure. Faintly sweet malty aroma not much else aside from a very low key hop nose. Twinkling amber pour sizeable head that soon becomes a thin film leaving mild lacing. Crisp with an easy finish this has a real good medium bodied fullness to it. Flavor is more intense than the aroma, lots of sweet malts caramel and a touch of honey. Low key hop presence nice change from this brewer. Overall one of Great Lakes’ more simple beers but it’s a nice choice for it’s respective style.

May 24, 2007 Beautiful clear amber color with a rapidly dissapating head. Hints of light roasted flavor in the taste. Pleasant drinking.

May 23, 2007 Malty roasted flavors and aromas with a nice dark golden color. There is also a fruity hops aroma with a crisp slightly bitter finish.

May 1, 2007 Had this on tap at a wedding reception. Nice amber pour with an off-white head that lingered nicely and okay lacing. Aroma was slightly malty caramel with a hint of fruit. Mouthfeel was bittersweet, and the taste, again was a malty fruit, though mnot real dominant.
All rounded out to a smooth, pleasant finish. Not a great beer, but it turned out to be a pretty good session beer, as I had several.

Apr 24, 2007 Not a big fan of my first Irish ale. Something just seemed off about this... kinda all over the place. Aromas of sweet cherries and toast? Flavor has little hop character at all... mostly just some toasted malt.
