It calls itself "Irish craft brewed beer" but it is quite generic, a nice malty smell, pours cloudly golden and tastes spicy, enjoy and if anyone wants some to trade, I can send!!!!!

Bottle. Medium golden color, a very tall white head. Very effervescent. Cloudy, especially after the last of the beer is added. Strong malt aroma, rather rich. A bit fruity, a touch sour as well. Biscuity. Very inviting. Very malty, rather sweet flavor. Some dried fruit. Not a lot of hops, but they are there, and they come in a bit at the finish. A bit more than medium carbonation, with a body that is a bit heavier than usual. Could use a touch more hopping, but the malt character is very nice.

Bottled. Golden, slightly hazy color, lively carbonation, decent cloudy head. Butterscotch (diacetyl) dominates aroma, there is some underlying hops somewhere. Quite Czech-type pils aroma. Buttery flavor, Central European type hops, medium-bodied. Quite ok, far above Irish lagers.
