Mar 23, 2009 It’s dark orange/red in color, and clear with a white head. Aroma is of malts. The beer sputters around in the mouth a bit during the sip but never gets anywhere interesting. I wanted some complex flavors, but was greeted with just a flat barley taste along with a cherry hint. Carbonation is at a healthy moderate level however and there’s a slight hop kick that gives the beer it’s fresh, dry aftertaste.This is decent, but certainly not one of Harpoon’s greatest hits.

Mar 16, 2009 Location: Picked up a 12 oz. bottle at Gilly’s, drank it 3/16/09
Aroma: Very light, earthy aroma
Appearance: Deep, but clear Amber color, with a little bright gold hint to it. Decently thick head that dissipates quickly.
Flavor: Malty, light flavor
Palate: Light body
Overall Impression:
Not a lot to this one, but for a lightly flavored, low hop beer, it’s not bad, just very middle of the road. I guess it would be good for the heavy drinking of the holiday its associated with due to the lightness of it.

Mar 11, 2009 clear copper-orange, thin bubbly head. Sweet aromas of caramel malt, a touch of brown sugar, citrus hops and oak. Crisp malt, a bit tangy, well balanced. Finishes with a round amber malt character and just a bit of hops. Rather drinkable.

Mar 10, 2009 12oz bottle. Vibrant amber with a lasting light beige head. Light earthy caramel aroma. Light malt flavor, caramel, tea, and light hops. Light, prickly body. Nothing off about it, except maybe a lack of the light roasty touch that defines the style. Pretty boring.

Mar 7, 2009 Nice rich amber/red color with a decent off-white head, creamy texture, and minimal lacing. Nice roasted malt aroma along with dough/yeast. Taste is solid - on the malty side, not too heavy, but also not watery like the mass produced Irish Ales. Very solid version for this category.
