Compared to the Goldflint, it is more aromatic, less watery, Also there is a little more hops in here, but still not that much. a little bit of spiciness that livens it up a little from very boring to lightly boring.

Draft @ Brewpub: A dull amber color, light head and nice lacing. Nose of light malt and hop, not much there. The flavor is all band aid, super woody and medicinal. Horrible.

On tap at the St Paul brewpub (sampler). I would normally expect an Irish Ale to have an element of red in the colour. This was decidedly golden in appearance. A touch of smoky malt in the aroma. Smooth and malty of the palate, with a more apparent smokiness. Not much hop in evidence. Drinkable, but nothing special.

Clear light amber body with creamy off-white head. Aroma is mild, medium sweet, caramel, faint peat. Taste is medium sweet, caramel, faint peat. Watery light body.

From tap. Pours orange with a white head. Aroma is dry malty with a slight citric note. Flavour is smoked, rather dry and slight hoppy citric. Finish is rather bland.
