wxman (432), O’Fallon, Illinois, USA Mar 6, 2008 Pours a rich amber color with a big thick small bead off-white head. Roasted malt and maple aroma. Malt sweetness dominates along with maple, caramel and spice. Very little hoppiness. Tasty and smooth.
ketchepillar (239), Des Moines, Iowa, USA Jun 19, 2008 Pretty standard stuff here. Well done though, sufficient amount of hops with good malt character-some grainy malts, bready, with some caramel, even a bit of chocolate but nothing sweet or too pronounced. They put in a tiny amount of pizazz "spice" but nothing very interesting. Too carbonated making the quaffability (what should be it’s main goal imho) suffer. Got better as it sat out and warmed. Bigmmartin (137), Dayton, Ohio, USA Jun 14, 2008 Bottle. A fairly typical Irish Ale, somewhat bland. Nothing too extreme about this beer, but well balanced and very drinkable. FishManLA (150), Abita Springs, Louisiana, USA Jun 13, 2008 Murkey rust brown color with a medium head that dissipates rather rapidly. Fruity nose with floral notes and just a hint of wood. Taste of wood with subtle notes of fruit. Bitter finish of wood and hop. railcat1 (482), Hammond, Indiana, USA May 24, 2008 This poured a dark anber with a malty flavor and a rich robust finish,it was your typical irish ale and not to bad.CHEERS! the_federalist (192), Jonesboro, Arkansas, USA May 13, 2008 I knew this tasted more like an ESB than an American Amber. Pours clear red, with a medium beige head. Aroma is nutty and mild. Flavor is mild with lots of toast, biscuity malts and more nuttiness. Mouthfeel is pleasantly thick for the style. A solid, but not outstanding ale.
