Very dark gold with a huge foamy head that lingered. Sweet, malty and fruity with a vegetal note. Long finish. Moderately full bodied.

So weird to see this on tap here. Gotta be a sign. Goblet pour @the Commission in Orlando, lol. Frothy, clear, deep gold. Dirty malt liquor nose, veggie hops. Sticky sweet malt, burnt veggies, chems, earthy bittersharp finish, really crispy. Sorta yum, don't deny it.

Bottle, smallish head, clear deep orange with brown taints, caramel, grains, yeast, herbal bitterness. Drinkable but quite simple and boring.

Ever so slightly hazy golden coloured body with a nice, relatively thin, single centimetre tall just off-white head that stays afloat for a while above the 95 per cent clear golden body. Aroma of nice biscuity and slightly oaty malts with a grassiness, some hay and flowers but a sweet, caramelised sugar and toffee note that seems to persist, along with a dash of cream somehow on the finish - surprisingly nice in the nose. Light to barely Medium-bodied; Relatively crisp and biscuity, slightly grainy malts show at first with some nice support for the herbal qualities and a soft sweetness from the caramelised sugars and toffee flavours, all ending with a pretty dry and malty end that once again is nice to show some oat, vanilla and creaminess at the end that provides some complexity. Aftertaste is light and easy-drinking, while still having some flavours of the sweet caramel, a dash of the oats and a bigger bite of the biscuity and grainy malts that provide more flavour and pungency, but this is still pretty mild, while still showing some flavours and depth. A bit nicer than expected and not a bad option from Ireland, which is usually devoid of anything worthwhile, and while this would not want me ever want to return to that country, should the people there be actually able to find this beer easily and cheaply, I'd be happy for them! I sampled this 440 mL can, purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 03-September-2022 for US$2,69 with a best by date of 21-March-2023 sampled just a little after that date on 11-April-2023 after returning from Spring Break and being rushed into 'Spring' here at my house here in Washington.

Aromas are malt, yeast, barnyard and a little solvent. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose, malty sweet up front giving way towards a moderately bitter finish. Good body and carbonation. Serviceable bot not special.
