Bottle from Trader Joes Short Pump on 03/04/2010. Clear copper amber body with a large rocky off-white head. Sweet pale and roasted malt with a floral and earthy hop background. Earthy flavor, some tea-like character with a touch of caramel. Medium body with moderate carbonation.

12oz bottle. Amber-brown color with a respectable, creamy head. Spicy, sugary, rich amber malt tones. Medium bodied, with some smooth vanilla-amber malt sweetness that fades away in the watery aftertaste. Lacking a little depth in the body department, it is hard to think of this beer as anything but session schwag. That being said, it is relatively clean, fresh, and inoffensive. Unimpressive.

Location: 12 oz bottle from Trader Joes (Short Pump), 12/5/09

Aroma: Aroma of toasted malts and grains, caramel, spice, earth
Appearance: Slightly hazy amber-orange color with an off-white head
Flavor: Medium sweet in flavor with a mild hop backing
Palate: This one drinks smoothly with a somewhat slick texture
Overall Impression: This is a pretty decent Irish ale, it has a decent enough flavor, not too exciting or unexciting, just solid and drinkable. A nice session beer for a good price.

Caramel malt and grapefruit aroma. Clear brown, thin off white head. Cherry, vanilla, and grapefruit taste. Great balance of sweetness, bitterness, and sourness. Piny finish.

Pours a clear brownish-red color with a medium thin off-white head that burns off quickly. Quick, spotty lacing. Light aroma of earthy malt and nuts with hops peeking through. Medium-bodied with a solid malt base that is toasty and nutty. Grain and hops flavors are present too. The finish is roasted malt and lingers for a bit. A step above the Killian’s’ of the world, albeit not a large one.

Pour is red with a white fizzy head. Aroma is quite hoppy for an irish red, also some rye shows up. Flavor is a burnt malt with a touch of zesty hops. To bad the hops are pretty much hidden. Amping them up would make this a better brew. Overall this is just so-so and nothing special.

A good Irish ale. Although it has a light red color and little head, it is full of aroma and flavor. The aroma is malt and smoke; like an oatmeal stout. Flavor has more malt; a little sweet, some burned popcorn. Purchased at Trader Joe’s, St. Louis Park, MN.

12 oz. bottle from Trader Joe’s, Downers Grove. One of the "store brands" brewed for TJ’s by Goose, Schell’s etc. Pours a nice ruddy brown after a nice smell of English malts and hops. Decent tan head. Good drinkability Good caramel maltiness, done to a dry, nearly winy finish. Very likable. I would note that it ranks very much the same as Goose’s Kilgubbin Red.
