16oz can pours a transparent amber orange-red color with a small cap of tan-colored head that fades to a rim around the edge. Smells of toasted malts and a hint of caramel. Flavor is heavy on toasty and roasted malts with a very minor sweetness and caramel flavor. The bitterness cuts the malt off far quicker than usual for this style, leading to a very quick finish and little time to savor the beer without taking another sip. The bitterness is not overbearing, but it does hurt the tasting experience of this beer. Light to medium body and slightly thin feel with little carbonation feel.

Pretty mediocre Irish Red to be honest. I wish there were more decent and great beers in this style since I enjoy the flavors so much. Won't buy again.

On tap. Poured out a clear, reddish amber color with a small, white head of foam. It smelled earthy, malty and sweet. Sweet toffee and caramel with an earthy bitterness.

 

 

Pours a clear, dark red color. 1/4 inch head of an off-white color. Good retention and decent lacing. Smells of sweet malt, dry hops, hint of cream, and slight pale malt. Fits the style of an Irish Red Ale. Mouth feel is smooth and crisp, with an average carbonation level. Tastes of roasted malt, sweet malt, dry hops, and a hint of caramel malt. Overall, decent appearance, feel, and body.
