Sep 5, 2008 Draft: Poured @ MABC, reddish-amber color with a medium-sized white head and incredible amounts of lacing. Massive caramel malt notes along with an equally sinister amounts of floral and resin-y hops, some mild fruity hints noted as well. Full-bodied, especially for the style...flavors consist of caramel, light fruits and a wicked-ass hop finish that reminds me of a more balanced version of Upland’s Ard Ri. Exceptional brew.

Dec 30, 2007 Tap. Caramel malt and pine hops aroma. Reddish amber color with small head. Light caramel malt flavor nicely blended with pine hops. The hoppiest irish ale I’ve ever had - very nice beer.

Sep 5, 2006 Draft at MABC. Small ivory head that fully diminished, very nice lacing, transparent, no visible carbonation, and a red hue with some orange peeking through. Malty, caramel and lightly hoppy nose. Flavor was malty, caramel and a tad too hoppy for my liking. Tingly, hoppy mouthfeel. Medium body.

May 20, 2006 Updated: Dec 31, 2007draft - Pours reddish brown with a medium sized head that leaves some lacing. The aroma is light and mostly of hops. The flavor is very hoppy, almost an IPA hop profile with a mild flavor of the roast malts characteristic of a red. The carbonation is light and the mouthfeel moderate. The finish is mostly of hops. I liked it. This is a nice session beer and one of MA’s better brews.
