Nitro pour...Pours a clear amber with a creamy medium tan head. Very faint aroma...lightly malty. Flavor has some caramel malt...slightly chocolatey and sweet. Mouthfeel is light and a bit thin with a slightly sweet malty finish that for some reason makes me think of a cookie.

20110314 hand pump at W-ton. Hazed copper-teak color with creamy tan head. Aroma has an herby, mate-tea quality about it that is unique and unexpected but lovely, somewhat spicy, too, with mild yeasty clove notes. Soft and dry across the palate. Nice example of a style that is all do often a once a year punt by brewpubs looking to cash in on the season. Well done Iron Hill.

Newark location. Not my favorite style, but I think the niltro helped immensely. Clear amber pour with frothy nitro head and great lacing. Smooth with a caramel and fruity sweetness. Tops in style for me. Excellent.

Pours that nice Irish red color. Not a big flavored beer, I don’t think mine was on Nitrogen because there was no creamy feel. Nice "light" beer.
