Poured into a becher pint glass, the appearance was a hazy deep amber color with a thin off-white head that lasted for a little bit and then as it fell some spotted lace ran here and there.
The aroma had some slight caramel/toffee sweetness, just a touch of bready/cereal notes and then some citrusy sweet to bitter hops at the end.
The flavor yields to the malts initially and then develops with the hops fairly nice, semi-sweet to slight bittersweetness. Lightly blended aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Good carbonation. ABV felt fine.
Overall, nicely done Irish red ale worthy of having again.

At the source: pours reddish with an off white head. Aroma is toffee, malt, hops. Taste is bitter and malty. Not bad.
