Its not the Quercus, this beer gains most of its tastiness from the oak barrel. Still though a pretty red ale with just that right hint of toasted barley.

Bottle poured a clear reddish amber with a lingering ring of amber foam. Aromas of butterscotch, carmel and fruittiness. Palate was light to medium bodied and smooith. Flavors of butterscotch, light carmel and light fruittiness with a smooth slightly astringent finish.

Draft at the brewpub. A hazy amber beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet malty with light notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet and very malty, but also with notes of berries, leading to a dry bitter finish. Nice.

Aroma...non-existent. Appearance is its most redeeming quality. At least it shows some color; a rich tangerine with just a hint of rose in its thickest point. Not a significant head but a thin ring remains throughout the gulp. Aroma is sickeningly sweet as is its flavor. Tastes like saccharine...artificial. Yuck.

Aroma is floral and resious. Pours orange-amber with a compact cream color head. Lacing is good. Taste is sweet malt with citrus grapefruit hops. Bitter dry finish. IBU’s 25-30? Overall taste is like a sweet grapefruit. Tastes more like a full APA than an Irish Ale. Pretty tasty overall. From a bottle.
