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.

Good beer to start the evening out. Nice tight head with a light citrus flavor. Overall mild flavor with a smooth mouth feel.

To me, it’s not much more going on than a grainy, dry taste. No yummy bready taste, no wonderful yeasty aroma. Just grain. Not the best lager, and definitely not a pilsner in my book.

Light orange with almost no head has an aroma like that of wheat and citrus, with a touch of smoke. Flavor is light and bread-like with a short, clean, and yeasty finish. Certainly not the most complex beers, but a good candidate for along side a meal or just by itself at the end of a long week. Pair with a lighter, creamy Robiola or possibly even a triple creme with pears and tart apples.

22oz bottle. Pours a clear straw color with a good white head. Aroma is largely earthy, with aromas of corn, malt, and yeast alongside a slight sweet note of hops. Taste is fairly full for a lager and creamy, with a neutral taste of malty breadiness and corn with maybe a slight twinge of hops. Amazingly inoffensive.

Sampled during Cellar’s weekly beer tasting in St Paul, Minnesota. Pours a semi-clear golden pale brew with an average white head that quickly dissipates to a white ring. Aroma of light bready malt, some citrus zest and a touch of green vegetable. Taste is light to medium bodied, light carbonation with flavors of semi-sweet bread malt, some citrus zest, and a touch of dry yeast. Finish has a semi-sweet citrus aftertaste that quickly disappears after the finish. Irish style beer? Not sure, but still a drinkable session brew.

22oz. Decent lager aroma. gold body with modest head. Sweet palate, no overwhelming flavors with a smooth floral finish. Not really an Irish lager but a solid beer overall.
