2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
This is an good beer. Poured with a huge head. Aroma is of fruity soap and metal. I taste pine nuts and bread. This beer doesn’t do much for me.

I’d call this an American amber, probably. It is a nice brown color w/ a long-lasting head of fine white bubbles. The nose is mostly toasty malts and a pleasingly firm malt bitterness in the finish. It’s a full bodied beer but not heavy and very drinkable. One of those brews that makes me wish it was a little lower alcohol so I could drink more of it.

On tap in KC. Average beer, average everything else too. The whole world is average. Rated.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Dark amber pour. Good malty flavor with a hint of bitterness; some light caramel behind both. Good.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cloudy ruby pour - moderate, soapy, lasting lace - nose and flavor are quite toasty and biscuity - the flavor is medium dry, with a lasting biscuit crispness throughout, but with a mild undercurrent of sweetness, esters, plum and raisin - creamy, full mouthfeel - this is quite nice, wit a complexity you do not normally see in beers like this - very nice.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Location: 12 oz bottle from Colonial Wine and Spirits, 1/23/12
Aroma: The nose has some sweet and dry caramel notes, roasted malts, bread, and yeast
Appearance: It pours a clear, dark, caramel-orange color with a foamy beige head and medium lace
Flavor: Light-medium sweet, caramel and bready malts, balanced by a light earthy/dry caramel bitterness
Palate: It’s light-medium, with a somewhat smooth, fairly drinkable mouthfeel, and a slightly dry finish
Overall Impression:
I thought this was a decent Amber/Irish Ale. It has a solid combination of flavors that are pretty much on target for the style. It isn’t any kind of crazy beer, just a solid and drinkable offering.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
A nice red/amber color with a foamy tan head and some lacing. It has a pleasant malty aroma with a great malt flavor that’s not too sweet and leaves a great aftertaste.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
It was lighter-bodied than I thought it would be and had a good-grainy taste. Slightly bitter at the end with a bit of an alcohol presence in the flavor.
