Its ok! Smell is a bit poor. Flavor reminded a bit of steel with a little malt at the end. Not my kind of beer but worth a try ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Padilha (64) - BRAZIL - FEB 4, 2012
Amarga com um retrogosto desagradável. Não merece o prestígio que tem, sendo seu sabor bem mediano e comum.

Reddish colour, not so creamy for an irish ale. A bit bitter at the end. Average irish beer

sinte (171) - udine, ITALY - JAN 31, 2012
On tap. Clear reddish body with a huge, creamy off-white head, mostly lasting with a fine lacing; high density of small-sized bubbles. Moderate malty aroma (caramel, bread, some toasted) with light hoppy notes. Mainly sweet flavour with some bitter character in the finish. Light body with a watery texture; soft carbonation. Not as an interesting beer as I expected.

33 cl bottle. Has a rather light aroma. Sharp bitter taste with sort of a sweet finish. Sadly falls a little short on the palate-side.

visionthing (214) - Oslo, NORWAY - DEC 28, 2011
Can. Pours clear copper with a small off-white head. Aroma of malt and caramel with hints of toffee and chocolate. A bit to tasteless and sweet for my liking. Sweet finish with just a hint of hoppy bitterness in the end.

Drjohnrock (194) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - DEC 24, 2011
Poured from 12 ounce bottle purchased at Remke/biggs in Delhi Township. Reddish/amber color, medium off white head with moderated lacing, pleasant sweet malty aroma, intial mouthfeel is mostly carbonation, followed by light to moderate bittersweet flavor. Wish the malt was as assertive in the taste as in the aroma.
