Draught. Poured a clearish reddish amber. Smooth taste with some caramel and a clean finish. Good session brew.

Can. Pours clear reddish amber with small foamy beige head, faint alcohol aroma, medium carbonation, slightly sweet caramel taste with alcohol undertones, thin body, medium caramel finish. Feels stronger than it actually is.

Poured into a mug, the appearance was a dark copper to light amber sort of color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that fell off at a decent pace. Subtle lace.
The aroma blended some earthy to grassy hops, light herbal to floral qualities, hay, light toast, some nuts, sweet grains/oats, dried leaves, and had some maltballs at the very end.
The flavor blended most of that but slightly left out the maltball part as it seemed more along the lines of just milk chocolate. A little bit of sweet wood came out here. Aftertaste was mainly the herbal to floral qualities with the chocolate and earthy to grassy hops. Finish was fairly smooth with the chocolate and earthiness.
The palate was between light and medium bodied with a decent sessionability about it. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt good.
Overall, now that’s a different Irish ale. I did have it in a mug, just like they would have back in the \"day.\" Left me scratching my beard, but still, I’d have this one again.

At the source: pours light amber with a whitish head. Aroma is light hops, light caramel, and toast. Lightly bitter. Not very sweet. Very easy. Nothing too complicated.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Stas’s place. Thanks zvikar. Hazy reddish amber. Slightly sourish aroma with a big of vinegar, yeast, malt, caramel and some overripe fruits. Sweetish-sourish flavor with malt, yeast, graininess, some fruitiness and a bit of harsh bitterness. Medium-bodied. Seems like something went wrong here.

Bottle - bomber. Pours clear deep reddish amber with a medium quickly diminishing beige head, dissipates to a ring but laces fairly well. Aroma is very malty, nutty, toffee, caramel. Flavor follows, medium sweet, no real bitterness, malts coming at you from every direction, some honey as well. A bit of a lingering odd, a bit tart, finish, but otherwise not so bad. Medium body.

Draft at some dive bar on long island. Pours amber with thin soapy head. Nose of grains and caramel. Tastes of caramel, honey, malt, grains, and aluminum. Allright

Location: Sampled at the NY Brewfest on Governor's Island, 6/19/10
Aroma: The nose has some caramel, toffee, toast, yeast, and a bit of spice
Appearance: This is an amber-brown colored beer with a small tan head
Flavor: The taste is fairly malty, somewhat sweet, lots of caramel, and a bit of spice
Palate: It has a light-medium body, fairly sessionable, and drinks pretty nicely
Overall Impression: A halfway decent Irish Ale. Nothing overly special, but a solid example of the style in my opinion. Overall, I thought the beers I tried from this brewery at the festival were pretty good, and I look forward to getting a hold of some more of their stuff in the future.

Bottle at Pilsner Pete’s RBSG. Nice all around beer. Pours a dark reddish brown. Nose is floral hops, sweet caramel. Taste is pleasantly hoppy with a touch of juniper.
