FunkyBrewster (150), Chicago, Illinois, USA Oct 8, 2008 Bottle. Pours a deep amber brown color with a frothy off-white head. Aroma is based mostly around a fruity hop presence and sweet caramel malts. There is a bit of pineapple and grape too. Flavor starts out very floral and hoppy before some very sweet roasted toffee and caramel notes. The finish is a bit bitter but does not come across as harsh. Medium body. Good Irish ale but pretty hoppy like most Three Floyds usually are. kosko20 (143), Bemidji, Minnesota, USA Sep 20, 2008 So I was hoping for better since I like irish ales a lot. Didn’t have the hop aroma that I came to love from FFF but it was nice nonetheless. Was a fruity nose, cherries and grapes, sweet. Appearance was a ruby red with an off white head, beautiful. Flavor is fruity, cherry and grape, with a sweet malt background. Palate is incredibly smooth. Wish there was more of a hop profile and more of a bitter finish. gunhaver (660), Tampa, Florida, USA Sep 10, 2008 Bottle, at BA Throwdown #2. Hazy reddish brown pour, thick white head, creamy lacing. Dry wheaty malt, smooth cottony field of hay and hops working together well. Smooth flavors, some hoppy elements, nice dry wheaty finish. Crisp and full of tobacco and biscuit. Dry, yet smooth and flavorful. fishingnet (856), Brandon, Florida, USA Sep 7, 2008 Bottle courtesy of Quake1028. Pours a hazy amber with a small off-white head. Aroma of butter toffee, caramel, sweet malt, and cherries. Taste is the same as aroma with some earthy tones. Medium mouthfeel with a mild amount of bitterness. A wonderfull session brew. bbobb (7), , Indiana, USA does not count Sep 2, 2008 From 22oz bottle. Deep reddish brown color. Very nice, very drinkable beer. Best Irish red I’ve had. Very flavorful, with a hint of sweetness, but not enough to be off-putting.
