Good, basic ale...had it on tap in Ireland and it tasted clean, refreshing, and smooth. Creamy, almost like a cream ale, actually. Drink it before it gets too warm, though!

UPDATED: FEB 11, 2012 Bottle. Reddish clear body with medium thick head. Aromas malts, some hints of herbs. Palate is watery, softly carbonated with smooth mouth feel. Aftertaste is slightly dry and finish medium short. Decent and drinkable.

VT (134) - Quebec City, Quebec, CANADA - FEB 6, 2012
500 ml widget can. Pours a nice amber orange with a thick, persistent white head. Taste is very light - hard to find. Some bit of caramel, somewhat herbal. Slight hint of bitterness in the finish. Mouthfeel is obviously quite creamy, which is pretty much this disappointing beer’s saving grace...

Traditional red irish ale. Creamy beer with nice finish. Even though it is very nice on bottle, I prefer the draught version.

Beautiful when being poured with little aroma and a creamy frothy smoothness that can slip down your throat, taste is sour with a traditional Irish roasted grain taste.

caramel, toasted malts flavour. Creamy, spicy notes. A delight from Ireland!

magdalar (292) - Zurich, SWITZERLAND - JAN 28, 2012
Draught. Pours a clear read with an off white head. Smells of caramel and malt. Tastes a medium sweetness with a mild bitter. Creamy texture. Soft carbonation. Medium bodied. Finishes dry. Simple, good, and refreshing.

Canned. Pours copper with a big light brown head. Smells bread malty and abit sweet. Tastes bitter, bread malty, abit sweet with a clear bitter finish. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

May pour with a frothy head, but not overly carbonated. Soft and creamy on the palate, but to me lacks flavour.
