Deep amber in color. This is medium bodied beer that has a wonderful caramel sweetness and malt flavor. Very low hop aroma and flavor.

A: The beer is clear dark reddish amber in color and has a light amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a short white head that quickly died down and left a narrow collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Light to moderate aromas of sweet malts are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell and is a little sweet with slight hints of tea. No bitterness is perceptible.
M: It feels nearly medium-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer is much sweeter compared to other beers in the style.
Serving type: bottle

12 oz brown stubby bottle from Ohio served in a lager glass.
Good looking, with a clear, dark copper colored body and a semi-durable beige head.
Aroma: not bad but not harmonious and somewhat strange.
The flavor reveals more hops than expected, and a mix of bitter hops and sweet malts that clash more than blend.
Feel: medium body and carbonation.

Big Malty taste, enticing aroma, probably a bit too carbonated and thin feeling. In central Ohio, this is a better than average Irish red option.

I got a bottle of this off the single shelf at my local Giant Eagle. It poured a dark amber with white head that is not leaving much lace. The scent had faint caramel malt. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with sweet and roast malt presence. The mouthfeel was medium in body with good carbonation. Overall its just ok.

From the 12 oz stubby bottle in a snifter. This decent little red pours a
nice reddish amber with a nice head of white foam that subsides to a thick
ring, subtle thin pool, and shows subtle lacing. Nose of deep caramel malts
and subtle herbal hop notes. Flavors exceed by presentation with deep caramel
and light stone fruit notes of peaches flowing into a subtle herbal hop flavor.
Nice mouth feel; medium body, medium carbonation, and a subtly dry yet
wet finish.
Overall, a solid representation of the style.
Cheers

This beer pours from its 1pt. 6oz bottle a deep Amber color with an off white head that is about a finger's width thick. The foam lingered for about a minute.
The beer smells yeasty with some sweet notes.
The initial taste is somewhat sweet and earthy. In the middle, the beer is a bit caramely. It finishes a bit bitter like most ales of this style do.
The mouthfeel is full bodied with the carbonation a bit on the high side.
Overall this is a solid Irish Ale. It is exactly what you would expect from this style. The brewers did not try to do anything fancy or over-hop it. You get what you would expect from this Irish Ale.

Look: Kinda looks like a cup of tea where the bag has been steeping for a little too long. Leaves that nice dark copper color.
Smell: Sweet malts, cereral. All grain on this one, very faint at that. No hop presence there at all sort of expected for this style.
Taste: This is a maltheads ideal session beer. Smooth sweet malts persist throught with faint tea-like aftertaste. Very enjoyable and refreshing.
Feel: A bit thin but overall not too bad, carbonation is spot on.
Overall: Really like this one, picked it up on a trip to Columbus, OH. Too bad I'm no where close to Ohio or this would be in my regular rotation. Go get one if you can find it.
