Floral hops and a touch of toasty malts on the nose. The palate is similar, a bit muddled by yeast. Decent, the floral hops distinguish the beer from the hundreds of similar ones a little bit.

Bottle: Light copper color with a large, fluffy beige head. Lots of sticky lacing. Aroma is sweet, a blend of fruity yeast, light esters, bananas, and cinnamon. Doesn’t quite line up with the taste, which is malty with more of that fruity yeast, some florals, and grass. Something reminds me of iced tea... in a good way. Refreshing.

12oz bottle. Foggy red-brown. Thin, patchy head. Pungent aroma, some crystal and amber shine out, but sort of a rotten smell. Says it’s an Irish Style Red Ale on the bottle. Medium bodied, a rather unimpressive example of the style. The mild hops add just a touch of soapy bitterness, and are quite one-dimensional. Fruity, red apple and toffee tones. Boring, uninspired beer.

Brought back from Toby’s great Montana Growler round up. Pours out a amber/orange topped with a sand head. Aroma was nice sweet malts some roast nuts and light hops. Taste was much of the same sweetness, malts but also a nice fruit on it.
