Tasted several times. It has not intense aroma or taste but the combination and the balance between the components is really good and made a nice and refreshing beer. Next one please!

Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a pint glass. The
appearance was a nice looking hazy amber to orange to red color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within about a minute leaving some super light lacing all around.
The smell had a light toffee to chocolate to caramel nuttiness but all combined and pretty subdued.
The taste was mainly malty sweet with a decent sessionability about it.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a decent carbonation running about it.
Overall, Irish Red ale? Uhh...sure, not bad just not great.

Draft with a meal. Dark amber with a too large foaming head running all over the table (what the hell?). Sweet, malty, slight hoppiness. Okay, but just okay.

On tap at Tapwerks. Pours a clear deep amber with a light brown head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has an earthy grain with notes of bread and a touch of sweetness. Flavor has lots of bread and earthy grain with a hint of toffee.
