Golden color, tons of very, very frothy foam, settles down to 1 inch and doesnt last long. Malty nose. Watery mouthfeel. Loses most of its carbonation on the pour.Boring medium balt, barely any hops flavor.

This was a pretty good lager but basically was like a bud light on steroids. Had a lot of corn in the aroma and flavor. Won’t buy again, however is a nice conversion beer for bland beer drinkers.

22oz bomber. Pours a deep, clear gold with a medium-sized, white head. The aroma is subtle and floral. The flavor is also floral from the hops but also bready with a touch of residual malt sweetness - like a drop of honey. The finish is crisp with soft hop bitterness. The mouthfeel is crisply carbonated, refreshing, and decently full in body. Overall, this beer is soft and mild, but is well-balanced and very drinkable - a nice session beer, for sure.

Bought this bottle for St. Patricks Day. Yellow-orange color with a small white head. It has a straw aroma. Mild acidic to start and a bit bitter in the finish. Palate is light, watery with much carbonation.

Pours an ugly clear straw color with a quickly disappearing head. some malty honey in the nose, but overall pretty subdued aroma. Flavor is crisp with some cereal malt, small amount of hops, some lemony notes. Avoids being watery for a lager. Refreshing and easy to drink. another rater said it’s amazingly inoffensive, and it’s true. This lager has absolutely no skunkiness or cat piss flavors/aromas whatsoever. but it’s not worth the price, overall it seems pretty simple. also like other raters, I have no idea what is so Irish about this beer.

on tap @ papago... pours clear golden with a fluffy white head that doesn’t stick around for long. faint aromas of pale malt, light yeast, lemon and cinnamon. very light sweetness on the palate is combined with some citrus and grain. light to medium body and texture. not much to it...

Whats exactly *is* an Irish style lager? Wasn’t sure what to expect from this beer, but for a lager it was pretty nice. Incredibly easy to drink, entertains the tongue in all the right places for a lager. Would be great alongside some grub. Not sure I’d pay this much again for 22 ounces of lager, though.
