Pour has a nice amber hue, Head is whitish and fades fast. Aroma is sweet, candy, caramel malts. Flavor is true to the aroma, very malty, good balance of hops to make the whole beer well balanced. Nice smooth, finish. Very good beer.

TYPICAL irish red. sweet and malty with a tinny spicey flavor. this brew has a mildly creamy mouthfeel. it tastes red and sugary with a flowery component that is not very alluring in aroma or taste. a few of these might make me lose me corney and spuds.

haven’t had this style in some time, looking forward to others this season, the malt is really mixed with hops which results in a real different red ale, meaning not too strong, decent brew

Aroma very malty. Amber color, cream head, minimal lacing. Slight tart on the palate, tastes a little watered down. So smooth and easy to drink. I think i could pound a six pack of these, ha. Sweet taste. Easy to drink, good beer.

Poured a clear glowing amber color with a small off-white head. The aroma was malty, nutty and sweet with some earthy hops. The sweet malty flavor had some nutty and toffee notes. Light hop finish.

Appearance: Pours a clear, reddish amber body with a thin, ivory-colored head. Smell: Caramelized sugar aroma with a slight doughiness and a vague fruitiness. Taste: Bready, caramel sweetness. Very light earth hops before the finish. The fruitiness perks up in the overall sweetish finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: A fairly average Irish ale, that’s all I’m saying.

Pours a dark amber with a touch of red. A fair amount of head and a lot of lacing. On the nose I got a touch of peach and a slight sweet edge. The taste is earthy and full. There are the typical hops and roasted malt on the mouth and the feel is a little bit thick, but good. Overall a nice brew. Worth trying, I suppose. But not something I will seek out again though.
