On draft at GL. Pours a clear yet dark copper with a medium beige head. Aroma of faint malty grains and with grassy undertones. Taste is malty with hints of grassy hops.

Aug 17, 2008 Dark red with a big ol’ head on this one. Citrus fruits, light pine, fresh, with light malts. Flavor is similar. Thin and bubbly body. Thought this one was sort of bland, not bad, though.

Aug 7, 2008 Oh no love for this well made brew, Tap @ Blind Tiger. Malty and earthy aroma, very authentic Irish Ale representation. Then finishes with a touch of burnt sweetness. Taste is dry and earthy with light soil bitterness. I was very surprised by how well this came out and would drink it again for sure.

Apr 30, 2008 Draft at the Boat House in Conshohocken, my old stomping grouds. Clear amber red color with small tight off white head. Aroma was really just malt. Flavors of light malt, nutzs, and caramel. Flavors the same. Fizzy pop rock finish. Why?? Decent, but not great.

Apr 18, 2008 Cask at Pizza Plant, Williamsville, N.Y. Pours a hazy orange-copper with an average size lasting creamy off-white head. Mild aroma has a very slight sour tinge to it along with caramel malt, fruit and very light hops. Flavour, also mild, of caramel malt, light nuttiness and light hops. Average bodied, creamy mouthfeel. Overly weak and somewhat dull, it’s just O.K.

Apr 17, 2008 Cask. At Pizza Plant (Walker) in Williamsville. The fist pint was brutally sour, obviously there hadn’t been a pint pulled for quite a while - the rating is for the second pint. Deep clear copper with a solid, long-lasting creamy beige head. Dry, grainy-malty aroma, tart and yeasty. The taste was a little malt-deprived, and it wasn’t even that hoppy - mostly like a bitter iced herbal black tea with extra lemon, a bit of bottle metal, which was pretty odd. I have to admit the mouthfeel was dead on for cask - soft, gently astringent, not much carbonation, smooth - but weak bodied and a tad acidic for all that. Overall needs more malt body and a little less lemony sourness.
