On tap, at brewpub. Pours a clear reddish amber body with a small fizzy white head that faded fairly quickly. The nose is slightly husky and grainy with just a mild hint of hops. The flavor is much the same, a little toasty and grainy malt with a bit of fruitiness on the back end along with minimal bitterness. A little thin overall. Mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with a bit of a course texture and moderate fizzy carbonation. Just about what you would expect from an Irish Ale at your average brewpub.
