BrewSquid (45), Plattsburg, Missouri, USA Sep 8, 2006 Irish Ale?!? . . . there is no such beer style. As a result, every Irish ale is open to the interpretation of the brewer doing the brewing. Most consider it an amber ale utilizing British hops. That being said, this ale misses the mark. It tastes like ’old, stale’ hops were using in the brewing as evidenced by a ’cheezy’ hop flavor.
jcwattsrugger (4087), Florida and, New Jersey, USA Oct 31, 2006 on tap-pours a white head that laces and yellow color. Aroma is sweet malt. Taste is sweet malt, light body. harlequinn (2746), Tacoma, Washington, USA Jul 4, 2006 Pours a reddish amber and is kind of reticent in stlye, this could be a lot better beer. It is not that bad, but just kind of rserved in style. Nutty caramel nose, with some roasted chocolate flavors. Very drinkable, but turns kind of watery in the finish. BeerandBlues2 (2623), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA Aug 3, 2005 Draught. Pours amber to copper with a tall foamy light brown creamy head. Sweet chocolate and nutty caramel malt with notes of maple and brown sugar, yeast nose (dough). Sweet caramel chocolate malt flavor with a lightly bitter finish. Medium bodied and creamy very drinkable palate. Aubrey (2625), Denver, Colorado, USA Sep 8, 2004 Didn’t detect the off-flavors mjames did; they must’ve fixed that problem. Medium amber and clear with a creamy head. Nice and foamy texture. HUGE caramel sweetness exudes throughout. A decent amount of bitterness almost balances things out, but the heavy sweetness definitely prevails. Malt flavors were really tasty ... nice malt bill. However, sweetness became a bit much for me.
