Canned 11/20/25, drunk 2/10/26.
Moderate amounts of toffee and toasted grain with slight vegetal edges and a smidge of honey. Little/no hop. Smells like an Irish Red, I guess, albeit not much differentiating it from a macro Irish Red. No extra hop, no extra malt or interesting yeast.
Fruity and with a good helping of maltiness, especially for its size. Toasted grain in the background with maybe a shade of hop bitterness but no real hop flavor. But the malt does have a good character, showing light honey, light toast and pretty good depth, even through the watery aspect of the nitrogenation. Quite clean, though whatever the (assumed hop) bitterness is, is a bit harsh and unnecessary on the finish. Still, it's minor and the beer is very drinkable and quite flavorful for its size, even if it's mostly just toast and honey/toffee.

Old rating from 14-07-16 - A 330ml bottle picked up in NYC on my recent visit. Pours a hazy yellow colour with a small white head. Aromas of fresh peppery coriander, yeasts & wheat malt with hint of spices. Tastes of coriander, grain, citrus & wheat malts leading to a spicy mildly hopped bitter aftertaste.

From tap at Flagship, New York. Aroma is rich malts with rye, caramel, some darkish bread. More bitter than I expected, nicely sweetish. Medium body. Rich malts sums it up. I liked this.
