| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 26, 2009 A ubiquitous red ale along the lines of Leinies Red. A distinct English note in the taste as it is fairly grassy.

This one pours a beautiful amber-red color with a tan head that quickly dissipates. I love the warm taste of the malt and subtle presence of the hops. As Irish Reds go, this one is way up there. You can really taste that this company cares about brewing beer. Kudos. GeneralGao (3071), Iowa City, Iowa, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Dec 18, 2009 Bottle. Poured a clear garnet color with an off white head. Smelled of spicy malt, plum, subdued husky grain, and raisin. Light to medium bodied and slightly sweet. Tasted of corn syrup, caramel, and raisin. Eh. Not all that enjoyable. georgekillian (228), USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 6, 2009 Has a dark, rusty red color coupled with a thin cream head. A soft hop aroma greets the nose followed by flavors of apple and caramel. The body is on the thin side and a bit too watery. However, the tingling, dry finish is quite excellent. The ale’s balance of sweetness in the malts and bitterness in the hops is well executed. Overall, a good beer that feels like it had potential to be even better. malrubius (1004), Valley Stream, New York, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Dec 6, 2009 12 ounce bottle in pint glass. Red with dense beige ring. Earthy toasted brown sugar and ripe fruit aroma. Toasted caramel brown sugar with sweet cranberry juice fruitiness and earthy medium bitter hop finish. Medium body. My first Irish ale rating. Guess, I’ll try to avoid them in the future. Oddefellowe (50), Tampa, Florida, USA
