Great Lakes Conways Irish Ale

Brewed by Great Lakes Brewing Company
Style: Irish Ale
Cleveland, Ohio USA

OK, but didn’t stand out. Nice copper colour witha thin head and minimal lacing. Very malty on the nose, and then again the sweet malts in the taste. Medium body with a fairly quick finish. Easy drinking but not memorable.

On tap @ BW3 Streetsboro, OH: Medium coppery amber/w a lasting medium off white head. Bready & sharp, grainy, caramel malts dominate w/ a medium fruitiness. Some sweet brown sugary aromas & toasty malt comes through as it warms. Well balanced and very caramelly up front. Finishes lightly malty w/ hints of bitterness. Light roast in the aftertaste as well as some herbal hop flavor. Toasty malt between. Not a lot of fruitiness in the flavor. Medium body, medium carbonation, smooth m/f. Not a bad beer, but not outstanding either. It is a good alternative to macro swill.

This was a very smooth, sweet tasting ale. It had an initial sweet taste followed by a nice slight aftertaste. Very malty and hoppy

Red on the orange side with an off white head. Aroma is a bit toasty and somewhat fruity and sweet. Light in feel, clean taste, sweet malts are most prominant and a carmel toasty malt adds to a smooth feel and finish. Creamyness kind of gives it a chocolate flavor.

hazy ruby brown body with nice head. the aroma and palate isn’t much, but it’s good, and the flavor is what i liked the most. it’s juicy... citrus/orange, caramel, and toasty. although it’s not really to style, i’ll drink much more! i think this brew is underrated.

Pours a red/abmer color. Small white bubbly head. Aroma of sweet malt, caramel, apples, and a little funkyness to it. Flavor is sweet and malty again, with a somewhat thin boring flavor overall. Palate is thin and somewhat uninspiring.

Great Lakes usually provides exemplary models for the beers they create, and the fact that this brew is merely above average is kind of a letdown. Still, it’s pretty good. Deep ruby amber color with a medium beige head and thin lacing. The aroma is roasted malt and caramel. Medium-bodied and on the carbonated side, with flavors of sweet malt, light hops and a bit of fruit. The finish is clean and somewhat sweet. Overall pretty good, but I just know GLBC could knock this one out of the park if they really wanted to.

Amber glow, light beige head. Taste is pleasant, mild toasted malty flavor with a tasteful sweetness, with a hint of fruit. Medium body, has a nice bitter not overpowering hop finish, smooth and creamy. Another fine brew from Great Lakes.
