A pint for Pa Conway! Our co-owners’ grandfather and policeman who’d likely uphold that an Irish Ale with full-bodied caramel malt flavors is just the ticket.

Reviewed from notes.
The appearance was a dark orange almost amber color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that fell off at a good pace. Light stringy lace.
The aroma had some grassy sweet to bitter hops over top of a nice caramel/toffee base malt. Light pomme-like fruits then some bready sweetness. Ends with some toast.
The flavor had a decent blend of toast sweetness to malt sweetness with a touch of leafy to slight low herbal quality. Aftertaste had some nuts, the leafiness and the herbal quality. Pillowy sweet finish.
The feel was almost medium bodied, seemed like it sat just a tad under. I didn’t mind as it seemed just where I would want an Irish red ale to sit on my tongue. Carbonation felt good. ABV felt as projected by the brewer.
Overall, what’s not to love with this one. Great Lakes did a stellar job with this one and if I lived closer in it’s distro, I wouldn’t mind slamming this one back during St. Paddy’s Day.

Simple but easy to drink. Pours amber with decent head and lacing. Light barley bitterness and some tin. Crisp finish. Easy to drink.

Tobacco and tea nose, subtle dark honey notes. Clear copper, medium yellow head. Honey and tea flavor, cereal grains. Celery and tobacco finish. Unusual and not terribly true to style, but quite good.

Bottle. Pours a clear amber with small off white head that lasts. The aroma is bready malt and caramel, similar flavor with a light fruit flavor. Decent.
