thanks to dkachur. Red with a thin white head. Aroma was herbal, caramel and malt. Flavor was the same.

Served on draft at the brewery. Pours a brownish tinted red with a medium head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma is caramel malts with a light earthy note. Taste is earthy and malty with a light caramel note. Nice mild hoppy finish.

Thanks to Rob for bringing this from the brewery. Clear copper amber body with a small creamy light tan head. Sweet caramel and tea aroma. Sweet tea flavor with a light caramel ending.

Draft at brewpup. Poured a reddish amber, with thin tannish head. Aroma of caramel with a slight hop hint. Flavor was a lot of caramel malt, some faint smokiness and some floral hops. Not great, but enjoyable.

Nice. It has some solid depth to a classic Irish Ale. There is nice hop presence, good amber colour, and decent aroma. I feel like it could be more, and it doesn’t really make me crave it, but it is solid.

Big thanks to Rob for bringing a growler of this down after the big event! A beautiful beer, clear amber orange with a perfect, lasting light tan head. Aroma was of caramel, light floral hops. Flavor matched. Rather reminiscent of what Killian’s was before Coors got hold of it. As it warms, faint anise appeared, along with a slightly detrimental note of yeast, and some breadiness. Not a bad second attempt at a subtle style.
