12 oz. bottle on 4/1/08. This is really a nice looking beer - reddish amber with a big, creamy, off white head that leaves thick bands of lace and persists to the bottom of the glass. Malty aroma with notes of caramel, dates, and roasted nuts. Rich, medium fill mouthfeel, medium carbonation, and a nice smoothness. Caramel sweetness with some overtones of burnt sugar gets balance from some peppery bitterness. to me, this is much better than its rating would indicate.

Jul 17, 2008 Poured from a 12oz bottle and served in a Guinness pint glass. This beer poured a slightly hazy copper red with a lasting head of creamy beige foam. A good amount of thick lacing was left around the glass. The aroma of the beer was made up of chewy caramel, bread, and a hint of dark fruit. Nice and malty. The flavor included caramel, toasted bread, a light note of fruit, and a faint trace of metal in the finish. Just a hint of hop bitterness at the end. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied with moderate carbonation. Really not too bad for an Irish ale.

Jul 14, 2008 It could be just me, but I did not find anything significant with this beer.
I may need to drink more Irish Reds to better my palate but for the time being, I am not very impressed.

Jul 14, 2008 There are other reds in the world that will give you more pleasure. However, if it’s July 4th and you’re craving a good American Red, tackle this one.

Jul 12, 2008 Bottle. Pours red. Taste like cheap macro crap. Smells the same. Sorry Sammy, you should produce a better Irish if you want to be considered a good beer.
