YES, quite reminecent of when samuel adams meant ’this is gonna be great’ i am not fond of the style but this is a genuine flavorful red with the right characteristics to make it an irish. and a little tweak up on the alcohol to boot. tangy, earthy just right on the low sweetness. a moderate chalky bite this beer is quite smooth and soothing. a bit nutty in that caramel like sweetness, it has a refreshing beer nose that is a little caramel and floral. not bad at all!

Aug 30, 2008 Pours a dark amber red with small off white head. Aroma of roasted malts. Flavor or sweet caramel malts with a touch of honey. A nice bread and hop finish. Medium body. Overall better than expected.

Aug 30, 2008 Bottle: pours lovely clear deep reddish brown, like mahogany wood, creamy beige head. Major aroma is of floral hops, with a faint stale bread mustiness.
Flavor is predominantly caramel malt, with a faint hint of musty hops bitterness with a sort of short-lived dusty aftertaste. Better than I make it sound here! Good texture, mouth coating and smooth.
Upper midrange beer, in my opinion.

Aug 29, 2008 Nice aroma, mainly of caramel malts. Maybe a slight aroma of bread dough. The appearance is attractive, a translucent red, with persistent off-white head. The flavor is sweet caramel, malty, slight hoppiness for balance. The palate leaves a moderate hop signature. Good beer overall. Godd session ale.

Aug 29, 2008 Bottle. Medium brown/red, off-white head. Malty, fruity aroma, with dark fruits, cherry, hops, citrus. Nice malt flavor, good hop balance. Nice but not very interesting.
