Bright red/brown hue with a thin white cloud of a head--soft appearance overall... malty roastedness with a hint of hops--pleasant but not characteristic... medium-bodied palate, fizzy and back-mouthed...thin straight to the throat... the malt/hops balance is easy on the tastebuds, but leaves little on the way--a bit of toasted sweetness, perhaps... not distinguishable (not necessarily a diss) in its characteristics--a peaceful brew, probably pairing well with pizza or pub fare--an average approximation of the style... hate to evoke the wallet in a review, but too much like McSorlley’s to be twice the price....

Aug 4, 2008 Bottle. Bright red-orange with short-lived tan head. Sweet raisin bread crust, malty aroma. Buttery entry, bready finish, sweet, could use boost in hop character and less of the butterscotch. In the end is disappointing, bordering on unpleasant.

Aug 3, 2008 12oz. bottle. Nice ruby red color. tan head that lingers. Not much of an aroma, slight malt in the nose that’s about it. Nice malt flavor with a little bitternes in the finish, pretty good.

Aug 2, 2008 12oz bottle: Pours a nice hazy ruby red color with an off-white head that quickly disappears. Aroma consists of a moderate yeast, roasted malts and a hint of caramel. Crisp, dry inital taste does give way to a little sweetness. A middle of the pack red in my book.

Aug 2, 2008 Had a nice killians start to it and than a sam adams boston lager finish to it. I don’t understand the falvor that is in EVERY one of their beers. This beer was awful.

Aroma – Nice malt and hops aroma nothing to special.
Appearance – Reddish amber in color, clear with a light head.
Flavor – A decent Irish red beer this had a good malt use and the hops where subtle.
Palate – Good Mouthfeel, nice texture with a dry finish.
Overall – A decent beer this was nothing too special. Very average as beers go I was hoping for some more spice and special flavors. Not very earthy in my opinion.
