used to like it a lot before i really got bored and into other beers. overbearing caramel taste and body does not seem to suit togeather well. (as time g oes by) the combination of this and guiness (a black and tan) (i think) rates higher than a 3. i like it better than the 2 seperately. even with the body and lack of carbonation it still seems weak, watery and impotent at times. but for a while there we had a good realtionship.

Not a bad session ale at all. I find it to be pleasantly malty. As far as macros go I’d say it’s near the top of the list. The only problem with readily available quality macros is that most places think that it’s a much better beer than it actually is and end up charging way too much for it.

A good middle beer with its fruity, nutty and spicyness I felt like at firsts it was a bit too bitter but as I got about half way through it became a bit malty...

On tap in Northern Ireland. Pours a clear copper with a thin off-white head. Aroma of nuts and fruit, which carries over to the taste. Very lightly bitter. Medium-light body and medium carbonation. Dry finish. This beer would be completely sessionable.

On draft at the Flying Saucer. Deep copper with small off-white head. Aroma masked by the cold glass it was served in. Taste is sweet with caramel malt with mild hop flavor in the finish. Finishes dry with a bread-like note. A decent session beer.

Decent, obviously not a pale ale as the name indicates. Very little hop aroma or flavor. Mostly carbonated and malty. Drinkable and smooth.

on draft @ JFK airport. Flat and malty are the only words that can describe this fairly. Very little carbonation, very little taste, just obvious malts. Maybe there was something wrong with the keg? anyway, not my liking
