Draft at gc rockford. Malty with caramel and toffee. Drinkable, but not super special. Just another standard gc brew.

On tap at GC Madison. Filtered orange-tan. Creamy, fading off-white head. Fruity cherry vanilla amber malt flavor. Medium to full bodied, sort of a macro feel. Soapy hop balance, some buttery undertones. Pretty bland, cheap, not memorable at all. Doesn’t come together, sub-par.

On tap at the West Madison brewpub - Pours copper with a filmy white head. Caramel sweetness and a touch of fruity notes on the nose. Taste is real fruity and caramelly, with some herbal hops and mineral on the finish. A plasticy aftertaste with ample carbonation and a thin body.

Tried at Granite City Brewery in Kansas City. Part of a flight. Found all of the beers to be watered down and mediocre at best. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Tap at GC Wichita, Are you kidding me? you call a beer an irish red and set this translucent barely orange thing in front of me, get real. no taste, no color no score

Tap at Granite City in St. Louis Park. Clear orange amber pour with a small but clingy head. Mild caramel malt aroma. Taste is slightly sweet, but not overly so. Smooth and lighter palate. Not too bad.

Draft: Poured a burnt orange with a white head. The aroma is very grainy. Taste is a sour grain, corn, and nice hops balance.

Aroma Carmel color light red. Taste very light for Irish red, not much crystal grains or chocolate were used in this one, light floral citrus hop character, low malt no lace or head, forgettable

Clear light red with no head. Sweet fruit bread aroma and taste with mild hop character.

Draft at the brewpub. Comes a clear amber with an average biege head. Aroma of malt and caramel. Taste is similar. Drinkable, but nothing special.
