Aroma is mild malts/bread and a hint of hops. The flavor is a mix of bready malts and a decent hoppiness. There was something slightly off about this, otherwise it was decent.

An aggressive pour from a 12-ounce bottle into my Shoreline Brewery shaker produced only a modest pale beige head (soon a film) over a clear orange body. The aroma was sweet, grainy with some floral scents. The flavor had the addition of a light metallic earthiness. It left a bit of an oly feeling on my tongue. Drinkable, mayhaps, but I see no reason to repeat it.

12oz bottle 4/26/11 (Binny’s Downers Grove)-42° in Lager Glass-Pours a clear orangish golden with a small white head. Aroma of malt, caramel, and sweetness. Taste of malt, caramel, toffee, and vanilla. This medium bodied brew is not bad and is pretty well balanced.

Found this bottled at a local Binny’s liquor store. Pours a clear orange-golden color with a very low, filmy white head. Aroma has a very sweet floral note to it, mild grainy and grassy notes later in the nose. Flavor has a very light toffee sweetness, light toasted middle, some light vanilla notes and finishes with a flowery sweetness. Modest body and slightly sugary and oily feeling. Overall a pretty pleasant brew and one I might buy in the future as it has a lot of flavor for a 5.4% alcohol brew.

[Tap @ Quigley’s Irish Pub] Pours a deep golden color with a small amount of white head. Aroma of grains, musty malts and gym socks. The taste is somewhat like a bitter, with biscuit and grassy hops. Grainy notes throughout. Weird off flavors abound in here. Lightly sour, with some barnyard character. The description of this beer is that of a ’premium lager’, but there is a lacking lager quality. I personally was not a fan of this.
