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.

12oz bottle from Wegmans, West Seneca, NY. A golden amber pour with a ring of white head; floral aroma; soft malty taste with some floral, herbal notes; and a rather watery finish.

From my girlfriend’s parents’ basement. Fortunately, this beer is best before 4-22-2014, so I am still getting in the Goldilocks zone. Anyway, it pours an amber color with a small white head. Aroma is fruity, vegetal, caramel malts, and some little hops. Taste is sweet and fruity at the front. Small underlying hoppiness. Mild bitter aftertaste. This is a kind of different Irish Ale.

12 ounce bottle into signature pint glass, best before 4/7/2014. Pours fairly crystal clear orange copper color with a 1-2 finger dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cal that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of caramel, biscuit, toast, toffee, pear, apple, raisin, floral, herbal, pepper, light nuttiness, and herbal/toasted earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of malt, hop, and yeast ester notes; with solid strength. Taste of caramel, biscuit, toast, toffee, raisin, pear, floral, herbal, light pepper, light nuttiness, and herbal/toasted earthiness. Slight earthy herbal bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of caramel, biscuit, toast, toffee, raisin, pear, floral, herbal, light pepper, and herbal/yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice balance of bready malt, yeast ester, and light-moderate hop flavors; with good robustness and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, crisp, and lightly bready mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a slight warming present after the finish. Overall this is a very nice Irish red ale. All around good balance and robustness of bready malt, yeast ester, and light-moderate hop flavors; and extremely smooth to drink. A very enjoyable offering.

12 ounce bottle. Bright amber orange color. Medium-sized rocky beige head stays around long. Fragrant toasted malt aroma. Sweetish, fruity toasted malt flavor has notes of caramel and spicy hops. Very well balanced and flavorful. Finishes with light complex hops and a hint of vanilla bean. A nice, easily drinkable ale.

Bottle thanks to Sarah! Pours a clear reddish amber with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a light grassy hop note with a bit biscuit and a good amount of sweet grains. Flavor is quite sweet with biscuit and sweet grains and not much of a hop profile.

Draft at Churchkey. Poured a dark amber color with a small, off-white head. Aroma was some grain notes, slight roasted notes, with some caramel notes. Flavor was pretty malty, with some caramel, and some roast notes. Okay.
