Decants a deep chestnut red...2 finger rich sticky cap lasts and laces well.
Aroma subtle earthy-nutty-malty..great nose to this one.
Good malt spine, slick mouth feel, mellow character.
Malty nutty flavor up front...no cloying, earthy hops and yeast tastes in the middle, finishes lightly drying with a smoky-nutty after taste.
Nice...not too many Irish red ales I take to but this one is sessionable and very tasty. Eructoblaster (1480), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 6, 2007 Bottle - 500ml. Pours a dark brown body with average carbonation and a fair off-white foamy head. Decent malty/hoppy aroma with some grassy and biscuity/grainy hints. Its taste is dominated by hoppiness and ends with a sharp bitter finish. This is a decent "everyday" Irish Ale. DerWeg (760), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 28, 2007 Bouteille de 500 ml, acheté au LCBO d’Ottawa (Rideau et King Edward), sous le nom de Molings Traditional Celtic Beer. Ambrée un peu foncée, petit collet. Légé arome de noix malté, avec un légé parfum floral. Goût de malte aqueux, un peu de soupson de caramel. plutôt ennuyant! yarry (370), Waterdown, Ontario, Canada

Pours deep copper read with a nice tan head. Citric malt nose with malt backing. The taste is Nice, malty and roasty with caramel undertones. Nicely balanced with hops. A bit thin on the mouthfeel but its not a large detriment. Nice beer!
