A celebration of the Irish American heritage of our founders. The beer is a clean and malty Red Ale with a balanced dry finish. Hopped assertively with Chinook, Centennial, Amarillo and Columbus hops you'll find notes of citrus, grapefruit and pine. This beers soul is certainly Irish, but its attitude is pure American.

Brewery draught, 5/31/25.
Clear cherry-cranberry-amber. Small, dark beige head.
Toasty, lightly roasted malts with lots of caramel and not as hoppy as expected based on the description. Barely any pine, but some grapefruit. Not a ton of round, soft base malt.
Borderline thin in the mouth on account of what seems like too much specialty malt. Just doesn't have the softness and depth the style needs to balance the dry, toasty, somewhat scratchy textures and flavors of the caramel malts. Low hops. Was hoping for a bit more of those, too. But clean, at least. And still drinkable.
