Dansting (222), Overland Park, Kansas, USA Jun 16, 2004 One of the best beers there is! Another beer I wish was brewed/available longer, but it is always a special treat for the spring. Nice color, pleasant odor, and it is one of the tastiest ales you’ll have. unixrab (13), USA Dec 29, 2007 Nice Ale! Red and hearty and good for most everything that ails you. A good take on a traditional Irish Red. This Red tops Leinie’s and Killigan’s... by a long shot. Falconseye8 (522), Cartersville, Georgia, USA May 24, 2004 Courtesy of MJames, couldn’t get this in my home town. Came via Oklahoma. Big head out of the bottle. Eggshell, lacing. Citrusy, hoppy and smooth. Definite warming effect while consuming. Very Nice beer. Bendare2 (1), Grandview, Missouri, USA does not count Jan 17, 2008 Blvd Brewing creates a very good spring ale with a nose of Saaz hops and Pale Malt. The head is not lasting, but in the bottle a quick flick of the wrist produces a solid 1+ inch head. The color is right for the style and it is medium to light bodied beer. PhillyBeer2112 (1887), Orange Park, Florida, USA Feb 25, 2002 Exceptional bottle-conditioned ale. Most so-called Irish Ales are usually middle of the road red ales, but this is very nice. The color is a nice red-amber, with a firm head and excellent lacing. Aroma is caramel, with some herbal hops and a tinge of smokiness. The flavor is perfectly balanced: caramel malt and Englishy hops, plus a slight smokiness. Creamy mouthfeel. Very very drinkable and characterful.
