Draft at gc rockford. Malty with caramel and toffee. Drinkable, but not super special. Just another standard gc brew.

On tap at GC Madison. Filtered orange-tan. Creamy, fading off-white head. Fruity cherry vanilla amber malt flavor. Medium to full bodied, sort of a macro feel. Soapy hop balance, some buttery undertones. Pretty bland, cheap, not memorable at all. Doesn’t come together, sub-par.

Draft: Poured a burnt orange with a white head. The aroma is very grainy. Taste is a sour grain, corn, and nice hops balance.

Hmm.., I guess I will go against the grain here. Had the sampler first and got a growler to go. pours with a thick foamy head and has a slightly sticky lacing. The color is a glowing dark red. Aroma is perfectly malty authentic Irish Ale. Has a light wet soil aspect with some musk. there is some light cocoa and faint roast. Flavor is a bit weaker, a little vegetal, but same musky, earthy malts and a faint muted fruit back there. Easy drinking and is a fun beer.

tap - Pours amber with a one finger light tan head. It has a mild caramel malt aroma. The flavor too is all about the caramel malt. There’s a little bit of hops in there and it’s certainly easy to quaff. Not bad.
