| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 18, 2006 650 ml bottle. Poured a clear golden color with bubbly white head that dissipated quickly. Balanced malty caramel and sprucy hop nose. Flavors are similar with the caramel standing out a bit more. Moderately carbonated with a tart, fruity finish. Very nice beer. daknole (3050), Scottsdale, Arizona, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Dec 25, 2008 Well this is one of the better beers I tasted tonight and it wasnt very good. that should say a lot. Golden yellow pour with a white head. Aroma is very malty and has some nice hops. Flavor is really pretty damn bland. Boring and not good. Too much grain, hops dont meld well.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 21, 2008 Bottled, thx to thewolf. Clear golden color, short head. Nice hoppy aroma, some malt. Good bitter taste, based on a firm malty body. SledgeJr (3032), Omaha, Nebraska, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | May 27, 2007 On tap at the Rogue Ales Public House in SF. Pours pale gold with a thin white head. Slight buttery aroma. Perhaps this has a bit of diacetyl? A vinegar tartness is pronounced. Maybe the line for this one in the public house is contaminated? I get a bit of apple cider out of this in between the yuckiness. Very mild and low hop bitterness. Nice lacing. shrubber85 (3025), Wallhalben, Germany
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 5, 2006 Bottle Cane sugar and malt aroma. Moderately yellow color with moderate head. Light sour malt and moderate hops flavor. A very light beer for Rogue. Flavor is much more subtle - a bit too much for me. presario (3010), Calgary, Alberta, Canada
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Mar 12, 2008 Big bottle. Delicate large white meringue head on hazy dark yellow. Typical lager aroma. Good palate. Zesty edge. Spritzy apple finish. Very pricey for an above average lager. Not sure of the Irish-ness. BMan1113VR (2981), Los Angeles (and Dallas), Texas, USA
| 1.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 6/20 | Sep 12, 2009 Bottle from Cavie. Pours with a pale body and a white head. Aroma of light struck skunkyness, butter, corn and grass. Taste is corn, thin, bland and bad. Dry, fizzy and thin. ante (2977), Stockholm, Sweden
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Feb 4, 2007 Bottled. Pours out in a slightly hazy golden colour with a low fluffy white foma. Mild and quite boring aroma of straw and pears. Weak flavour of straw biscuit and grass with a short mild finish of bread and pears. A huge dissapointment.
