On draft at the brewpub, 16 oz. pour. Has an amber color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is full of malts. Taste is malts, caramel, slightly sweet, very easy drinking. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall is an enjoyable beer.

Very mediocre Irish Red Ale. Nice clear reddish amber color with a very small, fast fading cream colored head. It takes a good hard pour to get this head. No lacing on the glass. Aroma is bready malt slightly sweet and some floral bitternesss...very mild. Taste is toffee and slightly sweet bready malt. There is bitterness too, but it comes with a kind of metallic taste that I haven't experienced in while. The taste and mouthfeel are both pretty weak. The mouthfeel is thin and a bit watery. Nothing dramatically bad, but overall, nothing I would like to revisit.

Look: Amber-brown with a decent off-white head.
Smell: Floral hops, citrus, and malt.
Taste: Bready malt with a backbone of hops. Quite sweet. A little thin.
Mouthfeel: Thick and mildly carbonated.
Overall: A decent sipping beer, but a little too flat and thinly flavored.

My parents brought a mixed 6pck home from their trip down south. The beer poured a clear amber with thin white head that did not leave any lace. The scent had hints of bitter hop. The taste is a little sharp but decent to drink. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with subtle carbonation. Overall it's ok.

Pours clear, amber in color with no head. Taste is toffee, toasted malt, and light earthy hops. Medium bodied and sweet. Makes for an above average tasting true to style malty beverage. Nothing to rush out for but easy to drink.
