| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 20, 2009 Pretty much tastes just like Killians. Haha... kidding. But it is basically just a hopped up Irish red ale. And that’s exactly why I like it more than most Irish ales. It still has a familiar sweet maltiness to it with a hoppy aroma and moderately bitter finish. No it’s not insanely complex, but nice flavor. 3Faveryrogue (104), Aslip, Illinois, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jul 20, 2009 Had the non-holographic 08 version many times, and dont think 09 was AS good, but still a winner. 08 Rating. Nice pour. Almost looks like dark applejuice. Tan-white head. Smells of hops, candy, apples, grapes, and just juicy in general. Swirl revives some caramel. Oakiness, caramel, and fruit in mouth. Pretty drinkable. Enjoyed this. ajbitt (46), , Indiana, USA

FIg. smokey finish. mild maltiness throughout. Smooth finish. Palate: silky, perfect viscosity, nice smooth finish with just a hint of carbonation to make finish crisp. One of the nicest palates overall I’ve every experienced. Like a massage spa treatment for my tongue.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jun 22, 2009 22oz bottle thanks to EithCubes. Reddish/brown with a long lasting thick beige head that leaves a nice bit of lacing. Rich bready malt aroma with a sweet floral hop presence. Sweet malt flavor with just a hint of bitterness. A full medium body beer with a slightly syrupy mouth feel that is cut with an active carbonation. This is an excellent brew, the malt, honey, and amarillo hops are all present and blend perfectly together.
