Copper, cloudy, head of mixed bubble size, slightly malty nose. Fantastic ale! Very smooth, slightly sweet but with toasted character... low esters. An excellent representation of an Irish ale.

(draft) Clear, light-copper body, off-white head. Aroma and taste are both moderately sweet, caramel, roasty/peat. Light-medium body, clean and crisp. Excellent for style.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Deep red garnet color; medium head; wonderful bready aroma. Malty and yummy. Filling. Spiciness runs in this family.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours deep orange with a big head, about three fingers. Smells wheaty and sweet. Bitter up front, tingly and carbonated. Very drinkable. Darn good beer.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Good dark amber color with a small light head circling the inside of the pint. Malty aroma, with a spicey fruitful taste. I’m fairly impressed that a Northwest company can pull off a Irish ale so well.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Lt red color, medium head. . Medium bodied ale. Malty and slightly sweet, nicely hoppy. Full flavor. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is crisp and clean. Smooth taste. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Glowing deep orange or pink, perhaps. Generous sandy colored head. Smells of rich caramel malts, apple crumb, tastes very similar... apple and pumpkin bread. Refeshing and slightly sour with one bad off flavor, something metallic.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Thanks to beerhandy for this - cloudy orange pour - light, bready, somewhat hoppy aroma, with hints of minerals that come through much more in the flavor - medium-bodied - a kind of orangy sweetness that the minerals do a good job of keeping at bay - nothing special, but a nice, drinkable ale.
3.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle, pours a clear warm orange amber with a thin and fading pale yellow head. Thin aroma of nuts and caramel with herbal hops. Medium body and carbonation. The taste is sweet, nutty malt, maybe with a touch of apricot. Big, crisp finish with a hint of vanilla. I’m liking this one.
