Bought this one for the name, one of my favorite Celtic band. Pours a copper color with a minimal head that lasts quite a while. Aroma of roasted malts. Taste is sweet and tangy with a pleasant hoppy bitterness at the finish.

Clear red amber body with a decent khaki head, but plenty of lacing. Smell has toasty malts and vague darker fruits. Taste has big toasty malts with a hint of caramel, dry earth, a hint of modest roast, and now the fruit is revealed to be apple with a that whisper of date. Feels malty as well, but very clean and smooth.
A crusher for St. Patrick’s Day or really anytime of year. The wife liked it

Gaelic Storm pours a darker red color, with a small, but long-lasting head. The aroma is sweet, rich, and full of apple notes. The flavor is big, sweeter, and has an earthy, apple-like note. Good feel. Overall, lots of flavors, sweeter with apple notes.

From a bottle in central Wisconsin. Smooth and seasonable. Tasty. Would definitely drink again. This is one I’ll have to seek out since I haven’t seen it locally.

12oz bottle, Bottle date code is 3034 (About Nov 1 2024 maybe????) I'm unsure what the code means.
Look: Is a dark amber that's slightly red and looks slightly murky. When held to the beer light its semi transparent orangeish amber. Ok white head that dissipates rather quickly leaving just a little lacing.
Smell: sweet malt, caramel, and berry/fruity note. Smells good.
Taste follows the nose, Smooth sweet caramel, A berry note that is like fruit punch. After it warms there is a hint of toasted white bread
Feel is malty, smooth, slightly thick and syrupy.
Well I like this beer so much I slammed the first bottle and had to open another one to finish my review
I will give it a 4.09/5 overall.
