Commercial Description:
This authentic amber Irish ale is slow brewed with a blend of three malted barleys and finished with four varieties of hops. Then we dry-hopped in the lager tank to add a spicy note to warm your winter evenings. Expect this beer to be a beautiful copper-red, with a fruity ale body and a spiced hop finish.

I’m coming down with a virus, so I think I’ll rate a few beers while I still can. Pours clear amber with a smallish head. Nice aroma caramel, toasty, earthy hops. Tastes a little bland. Don’t know if it’s because I’m getting sick or not. Solid for it’s style. Might have to rerate. Copy this one OG. ;)

Pours a cear amber color with an average sized off white head and some lacing. Aroma of toasted caramel, roasted nuts, earthy yeast and some spice. Flavor is sweet caramel, light fruit and nutty. Thin slick texture. Nothing too complex but a very drinkable beer.

Very malty amber, very roasty and fruity, hops a bit more tame then the PNW ambers. Hops provide a spicy finish. Flavors of caramel and sweet apple build from a toasted malt flavor, to give a malt dept almost like an alt. Pours darker red/copper with a soft off-white head.

12 oz. bottle - Poured ruby red color with nice white head. This brew has a herbal hop aroma along with toasted malt scent. Flavor is ok, nothing that impressive, some spicy notes on tongue with dry grassy finish.

Probably the best Amber Ale out there. Pours a amber color with off-white head. Aroma is somewhat medicinal/spicy along with some roasted malt. Taste is lightly fruity with some light hops and spice intermixed in this great beer. Finish is a bit dry, otherwise it’s very smooth and quite enjoyable!

12oz bottle acquired in trade with CaptainCougar (thanks!). Poured a medium amber color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of toasted caramel, nuts, yeast, and spicy. Tastes of caramel, lightly fruity, and nutty. Tastes and body on the thinner side. Lots of lacing left on the glass.

12oz bottle. Pours a clear amber with a firm eggshell white head. Aroma is very well-balanced, with strong scents of roasted malt and hops along with hints of spice, dark fruit, and yeast. Taste is creamy and medium-bodied, with a malty character ending up on a somewhat sweeter finish of hops and spices. One of the finer amber ale’s I can recall.
