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.

Yadda yadda yadda - Aftertaste, schmafter taste. Chocolate this, lite hop that. Hint schmint. Lace? Isn't lace something girls have on their bras and panties? Light finish this, diminish that, does anyone understand this beer jargon crap? Simply put, this is a damn good beer, and you can consider yourself not only lucky, but damn kucky, if you ever get to try it, ’cause it’s "seasonal."

An incredible deep red in color and with a nice amount of carbonation, this beer tastes as good as it looks. It has a definite spicyness to it in taste as well as aroma, the only thing that bugged me was the presence of a sediment that I wasn’t expecting. Overall, this beer’s great, if you’re crazy enough to live in or visit WI during the winter definitely check this one out.

great deep copper color, no lace, a hint of dryness that makes it very drinkable; raisins, malty, aromatic, mouth-filling. Great beer

Malt heavy Irish dark red ale -- this instantly won me over with the thoughtful fruity notes hitting me like a trumpet. As a hop head I’m still wondering how in world this got me oohing and ahhing but I guess they didn’t slack off on the hops. This is clean refreshing session like enjoyment. Really underated.

Dark amber/red -- slightly sweet malty/hoppy complex aroma --- little head --- burnt caromel rich flavor with a slight thickness to it and extra hops (enough for warming) -- very pleasant aftertaste --- an excellent winter brew

Almost a five star. Could be the best of the new glarus stock. Has the color of an arizona sunset and a great flavor to follow. ALLS' i can say is put your hands in the air, for wisconsin's best brewer. New Glarus Rocks. This is one bad ass lill swiss town with a great beer. Fruit laced with spice overcomes the mouth upon first swig.

Very nice copper-red color; however, the head is nearly non-existant. Somewhat of a weak aroma (although I admittedly have a cold right now, so this may not be the case). Flavor is very fruity, low in carbonation, with a quick hop ’ping’ at the tail end. Smooth. Outside of the aroma, I was very impressed with this beer; a nice take on an amber ale.
