Appearance: Clear, reddish-hued body with a thin, off-white head. Smell: Grainy, malty nose smelling lightly of toffee alongside a middling fruit character and distant floral hop note. Taste: Lightly toasted grains and toffee with a hint of sweet caramelized sugars. Faint touch of fruitiness. Earthy, floral hops with a medium-low bitterness. Finishes dry with a lingering taste of toasty grains. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: A sufficient, easy drinking Irish Red Ale.

Comes out of the tap a barely translucent mahogany with a fine-bubbled light tan head. Rich, malty aroma is slightly hoppy and has spicy hints. Flavor is malty and fairly hoppy, just a little bit bitter, with nutty and spicy tones. Fizzy, tingly texture is a bit rough and lively going down the hatch.
