Bottle as shown. Pours a dark amber with a medium frothy off white head with good sticky lacing along the glass. A lot of carbonation and bubbles. The aroma is a bready malt with caramel. Medium mouthfeel with a toasted malt taste with caramel and brown sugar. A decent Irish ale from Harpoon.

12 oz bottle: Aroma is malty caramel, a light candy sugar scent, and somewhat bready. Appearance is a clear amber color with a medium sized tan head that diminishes into a soapy film. Taste is caramel, somewhat sticky on the palate, lightly sugary, and an overall malt characteristic to this brew. Overall, Nice stuff nothing to blow you away, but I would buy it again.

Bottle. Pours a dark amber with a creamy off-white head. Aroma was slightly sweet and malty with caramel and light fruit. Flavor was toasted malts, light caramel a bit of fruit and a touch of hops with a crisp smooth finish.

Deep, slightly reddish amber color...fluffy head with decent lacing. Malt aroma is basic, with just a hint of sweetness. Dry malt flavor, pretty typical of the style, in the front...somewhat crisp mouthfeel. Malty sweetness engulfs the back, but is quickly balanced out with a mild hop profile...finish is dry, with a light hop bite. As Irish ales go, this brew is definitely drinkable, but doesn’t possess any qualities that would make it stand out in a crowd.

Pours red orange with a small white head. Aroma of nuts, caramel, cinnemon, and pears or grapes (something fruity anyway). Tastes of caramel, pears, sourdough bread, almonds and finishes slightly tangy at first but turning to toast and burnt caramel. Light bodied, high carbonation. Well, it’s pretty ordinary irish red ale.
