This was poured into a becher pint glass.
The appearance was a semi-transparent ruddy amber color with some carbonation seen rising to fill a one finger white foamy head that dissipated nicely. Messy lacing clings to the glass.
The aroma starts off with sweet and bitter citrus rind and pulp over top of deep rich sweet caramel and toffee malts.
The flavor takes in all of the previously mentioned aromas with a dry sweet semi-grainy aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium in body with a nice sessionable trait about it. Carbonation rides under allowing a ton of malts to stick to my tongue decently, not cloying, but yes, decent.
Overall, I’d say this was a pretty good Irish red ale that I could have again.

22 oz. bottle. Snifter shows me a crimson color with brown highlights, soapy white head. Aroma is all earthy pine hops. Flavor start with caramel and malts that give it a nutty flavor. The hops in the finish start with a touch of citrus that then leads into the piney, earthy resinous bite. Carbonation gives a lively tingle on the tongue. Medium in body with a slightly drying texture. Overall it not going to be the best red ale you ever had but it is real easy to drink and I could down a good amount of this. Still pretty good all things considered.

Had this at Three Penny Taproom. Paid $6 for a Pint on draft.
A - Half Finger head that was creamy. The brew itself was a red to brown deep stout looking beer but lots of red if you put up a light to it.
S - Some pine, delicious sweet malts, apples and bananas
T - Pecans, nuts and a lot of earthiness. The hops are really present but not in your face. The red lager certainly counteracts there. Nutmeg and vanilla were present with a hint of maple
M - Huge mouth feel. Lots of bubbles, about 90% carbonation on a swish. Lots of linger that’s just oh so pleasant
O - Fantastic beer that’s really only available in a small part of Vermont. If you can find it bottled, pick it up.
