Nice looking reddish-orange beer. Cherries, grass, and malt in the nose. Malty grainy palate with a neutral finish . Good, not great , can quaff in quantities.

[Tap @ Strangebrew] Pours a nice amber color. Malts are nice and smooth. Moderate hop finish. Drinkable, but nothing too interesting.

Bottle. Pours dark amber with a lose head that fades quickly. A fruity aroma. A light body with a mild malt flavor.

Bottle. Dark amber with an average white head that diminished quickly. Light sweet aroma. Light body with thin texture. Mild flavor with a soft short finish. Not to interesting.

"Ho hum an average beer. Had a nice smooth mouthfeel going for it other then that you are looking at a beer. Can taste a little bit of the alcohol at it warms up.

Decent but sort of bland and boring. Better than those nasty nitro Irish Ales ... that is for sure.

This beer is very average and unrememberable. I doubt I’d be able to distinguish it from other beers if I had to. It had some malt, some hops, a tiny bit of bite; not really all that smooth (as a really good Irish ale will be). I definitely did not notice the "complex flavour". As a positive note, there wasn’t anything unpleasant about it.

Clear amber color with a thin white head and lots of bubbles. An odd combination of cotton candy, butterscotch, and peat in the nose. Weak, watery, and poorly structured combination of candy, carmel, and malt flavors. Yes, it might be a better version of Killians, but that ain’t saying much.
