Bottle(von Max sein Vatter): Golden to orangey coloured, hazy, small but stable creamy off-white head, mild to moderate herbal to medical and slightly fruity nose, light bodied; dryish mild bitter-sweet flavour; the medical impressions return, a certain fruitiness included, in the shorter dry finish. Average, but not unpleasant ale…

Bottled at GJBF 2012 Osaka. Pale amber color. Aroma of metal, cherry, a little bit of caramel. Light, industrial, metallic flavor with almost nothing going on. Thin and not tasty.

Pours deep amber into a shaker. Off-white micro head with excellent retention. Sweet and sour caramel aromas. Soft with sour malt front to back. Lasting vegetal finish.

12oz bottle poured into an English Pint. Pours a clear amber with about a finger of white head. Aroma of cereal grains and caramel. Taste is light bitter. Cereal, caramel and grassy hops. Medium bodied with a somewhat thick texture. Lively carbonation and a long finish. Overall, not bad. I’d gladly drink this again.

Location: 12 oz bottle, 11/7/11

Aroma: The nose has some caramel malts and citrus/orange fruity notes
Appearance: It pours cloudy dark orange color with a beige head and fairly heavy lace
Flavor: The taste is light-medium sweet and lightly bitter, with similar components to the nose
Palate: The body is light, it has an average carbonation, and the mouthfeel is decent, but a touch watery
Overall Impression: Overall, this is a fairly sessionable (I know the ABV is a drop over 5%, but it is close enough for government work), but unexciting beer. I don't have much to add to that. Unremarkable.

Purchased at Vas Foremost in Chicago, IL; enjoyed during my band’s LP release show and also at home nursing an allergic pink eye outbreak (beer treats it, you know). This tasted better to me at the show, but it’s still pretty good. Aroma of bready malts, not really much else. Appearance a cloudy amber with a thin white head. Taste is pretty creamy for a pale ale, can definitely taste the bitterness of the hops balanced by the crisp malts. Not really any off flavors in my opinion, just a really good, straight up pale ale.

Thanks to my parents that brought me back a 6-pack of this from the States. They were looking for a local brew, but this is what they got. Still looks decent, with a rich caramel-copper colour and an off-white head that is creamy and creates thick lacing all around. Good retention and a 1mm film coats the brew. Nice slow carbonation and mild grain aroma with a touch of hop. Smooth mouthfeel with a taste of grain, caramel malt and light bitterness in the finish. Nothing too crazy here, but quite a good Irish Ale for a macro brewer.

Bottle from Oak Tree. Bottle says Latrobe. Pours copper with a foamy beige head. Light roast malt aroma. Med body/foamy carb. Flavor is slightly roast caramel with some papery/nigh grassy hop bitter. Love the Old Ale House. The beer is drinkable.
