Dec 24, 2005 12 oz. bottle 12/24/05. Pours a dark red color with an orange tint and thin off-white head. No true overpowering smells. Hops are real good but definatly light in tatse. Tastes like a more fruitful and fullfilling Killians without the bitterness and watery character. Palate is a bit too thin for my likings but not terrible . Good thick lacing. A very solid irish ale from start to finish.

Oct 26, 2005 Poured an effervescent amber with a creamy white head. Not sure what to think of the aroma... toasty, somewhat alcoholic. Strikes me like that of a cheap whiskey. Taste is dry and hoppy with a touch of roast character. Not much malt to this at all. Somewhat thin bodied.

Oct 6, 2005 (12 oz bottle: Obtained in trade with jjpm74, thanks John!) A fairly hearty and flavorful Irish ale, this medium "plus" bodied brew presents a very toasty, almost roasty maltiness with just a touch of sweetness. In addition, the light initial bitterness picks up a bit in the finish so the palate is nice and dry. The nose is also very toasty and minimally sweet. Ruddy brown and fully clear body allows me to watch the scattered, slowly-moving carbonation bubbles rise through the beer. The light-tan head rises to nearly an inch before settling to a wide ring. A few irregularly-shaped patches of lace decorate the glass.

Sep 30, 2005 Red with a tan head. Smells malty with some moderate citrussy hops. Taste is of clover, roses, and cherries. Not bad.

Aug 30, 2005 Nice beer. Slightly different tasting Irish ale, but still good. Pours a deep, bubbly ruby/amber body with a thick, long lasting off-white head. Great looking beer. Cherry, caramel aroma. Smooth mouthfeel. Sweet, roasted/nutty taste. I can taste some alcohol. Overall enjoyable beer.

May 22, 2005 Pours out amber/darker red with a small white head. Slighly hopped, not too sweet. I’m not really a fan of Irish Reds, but I could drink this on a regular basis easily.

May 14, 2005 Faintly nutty, dough, caramel, faintly hoppy nose. Small beige head dissipates quickly. Pours a ruby orange hue. Faintly toasted malts, buttery, caramel malt backbone, slick mouthfeel, pleasantly fruity bittering hops. A nice brew, but not terribly exciting I must say.

Apr 21, 2005 Bottle, from Julio’s. Good nose, Almond, yeasty/bready, little grassy, sourdough, caramel. Nice clean reddish orange color. Small white beige head that faded to a ring. Lite bitter sweet flavors, same as aromas, more towards the grassy, sourdough side with a caramel backbone. Little grapefruit too. Medium body, creamy slippery mouthfeel, roasty bitter finish. Nice brew, though it has that american lager thing I’m not crazy about.
