Commercial Description:
Brewed to the standards of true Irish Amber Ales (i.e. Smithwick's of Ireland). Our traditional Irish Amber combines generous amounts of caramel and roasted crystal malts, along with the finest English grown hops, and top fermenting ale yeast to produce the richest medium bodied flavorful ale with complex malty aroma and taste for smooth drinkability. Original Gravity: 1.018

Poured an amber color with a small, off white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of caramel malts, roast, and a touch of smoke. Taste of caramel and toffee malts, caramel, and smoked peat. A nice change from Yuengling, but still watery. Philadelphia Phantoms, 2005 Calder Cup Champs!

Very nice (of course I have a little home-town bias). Had this at the Flyer's game last week (Red Bell has a brewpub at the First Union Center where the Flyers play). On tap, great color and flavor - a little better than their Philadelphia Lager. Wish it was bottled!

Light orange amber-colored beer with a good head. Little aroma. Vague malt character with little to no hop.

Had at the First Union Center in Philly. Decent head and carbonation. Slight hoppy aroma. Nice rich golden brown color. Strong finish of hops which was very pleasing. A very good amber ale and one I would recommend.

One of the finest lager-style beers around. It's a fresh-tasting beer, similar in style to Yuengling lager, only with less smelly adjuncts. It's well carbonated with a bready fresh taste. It's got a similar fresh bready smell. It's an enjoyable option for the yuengling drinker.

Refreshing when very cold. Excellent amber red color. Tasty. I enjoyed this amber because it had a nice bitter taste.
