Unlike the Kildare Irish Red this is excessively watery and light. There's a nice underlying nutty pecan , roasted nut, malt and barley grain. The feel is thin to a point of washing the flavor away.

Showing that the lager doesn't only have to sell itself on a crisp, clean finish or classic pilsner taste. The style can show excitement with toasted sweet malt and a racy bite of hops and still keep the lager technique and taste fully in tact.
Like a cross between Vienna lager and Irish red ale, the pour is deep amber with sparkling clarity. As its short white froth skirting the surface, nutty, toasty and light caramel sweetness drifts by the nose, carrying with it a spicy hop glimpse. Its taste is suggestive of caramelized sugar, bread crust and peanut skins.
And as those almost-caramel, almost-crust and almost-peanut flavors tease the tastebuds, its light, crisp and clean body gives the lager a great sense of drinkability. While its hoppy balance turns from floral and subtly fruity and into a peppery bitter affair, they dry the palate from a cola-like center and toward a toasty and grassy finish.
The medium-light lager has an inherent heft to taste and texture with its sweeter and toastier attitude. Yet it manages a dry finish with a creamy malt substrate and a linger of tea-like herb and bread crust.
