Brewed by Thomas Hooker Brewing Company
Style: Irish Ale
Bloomfield, Connecticut USA

Serve in English pint

UPDATED: NOV 28, 2011 Location: 12 oz bottle from Buy Rite, 11/23/11

Aroma: The nose has caramel malts, smoke, roast, and just a bit of earth
Appearance: It pours a mahogany color with a thick, foamy beige head and some lace
Flavor: The taste is medium-sweet throughout, with just a bit of tartness in the finish
Palate: The body is light-medium, it has a slightly airy and tingly feel, and a fairly short duration
Overall Impression: This is a solid Irish Red. The random tartness that comes through is a little odd, but otherwise it is fairly on style. This is a decent beer.

12oz bottle. Aroma of pale, bready malts with a little bit of floral hops. Flavor about the same. Could be stronger on both hops and malts. Average texture. An average beer.

Deep amber. Long lasting off-white head. Sweet grassy aroma like the blonde. Little bitter finish.

Bottle. Amber red pour with an of white head. Rich sweet maltiness in the aroma. Similar flavor with some nice roasted caramel malt notes.

This was a pretty standard red ale. It had nice flavor and was easy to drink. The color was a true copper red and aroma was sweet.

Draft in C-Springs as Red Robin’s house ale. It was surprisingly nice but it makes sense now since I see that Thomas Hooker brews it. Really nice Irish Ale with an excellent hop flavor and gentle background bitterness.

Bubble gum nose very amber pour candy molasses flavor kinda candy Kent goldening hops used the malt flavors are kinda weird and bad sorry

Pours reddish brown with an inch of white head. Leaves a fair amount of lacing. Minor toast notes on the nose. Big malty roasted flavor on the tongue which complements buffalo wings very well.
