this alr was creamy with a decent head, but lacked any real flavor, across between rolling rock and killian's, only darker. It was very strange, as it was heavyier, but just tasteless

Strikes up a good balance between malt and hop flavors. I was expecting it to be a little smoother and full bodied, but it's still very drinkable.

had this on draft--just recently became available in the US, apparently. a great-looking beer, kind of like a lighter guinness. amber with a fluffy, lasting beige head. extremely smooth (if a bit thin) body, but very malty and tasty. finish is very quiet. i could very easily drink this stuff all night long.

One of my favorites all time, mostly for being a good Irish beer that you can drink all night without filling yourself up.

Malty fruity amberish ale, slightly peated flavors. There was much hype that disappointed me. Disagree with Oakes, I think it might be better on nitro.

Totally unremarkable. Better than their stout, kind of sweet and creamy. Not one I'd have again, but I did finish it.

Despite this being found almost anywhere, it's a remarkably good beer. Heavy, earthy malt tones, just the right bitterness, and a moderately heavy body. The red color is really nice. Overall, a solid easy to find brew.

On tap. Now this is a nice Irish Ale. Are you listening Coors? Slightly sweet and malty in the nose and first taste. Requisite nut brown color. A touch of tartness in the finish. A good ale if you have to drink a few.
