May 5, 2009 Imperial pint draft at the brewpub. Brown-amber color, a little hazy. Sweet, lightly balanced by the hops. Quality medium bodied Amber Ale. Balanced, but lacks some depth. Some interesting subtle sweet pungency.

Oct 5, 2009 A fun occasional distraction to some of LBC’s finer brews.
I feel as though I would be doing the brew a disservice to say that it wasn’t at one time one of their best. The quality appears to change pretty dramatically from season to season.
The current brew is a little too overbearing with its hoppyness. For a celtic, however, this is actually pretty tame.
This brew, it seems, tries to skate the line between being accessible to fans of blond ales and irish reds. It excels in neither category very well.
Fairly bitter over-all. This can be a fine brew with the proper food to counter-balance that, but on its own.. it is fairly lackluster.

May 20, 2009 Sampler, at Lancaster location. Pours a clear reddish copper with light visible carbonation and just a thin ring of head. The nose is toasty malt, some light hops, and a touch of fruitiness. Pretty flavorful for the style, a little sweet up front, more bitter towards the back. Some dry toasty malt, a little grainy. Mouthfeel is fairly clean and light with soft fizzy carbonation. Pretty decent, it thinned out a bit the more I had, but it was very drinkable.
