Not much of an aroma...not much flavor (just slight roasted malts)...watery finish (maybe they just added black dye to their crystal clear Irish water)......hmm, at least it looks nice.

Tasted at the Barrelhouse Brewing Company Microbrew Fest on November 9. Another grocery store beer. Slightly sweet wheaty flavor but fairly plain-jane overall.

Tasted at the Barrelhouse Brewing Company Microbrew Fest on November 9. I found this to be a bland grocery store Irish Ale. Nice red color but the flavor and aroma didn''t do much for me.

Not a half-bad Stout. It has all the qualities of a good Stout, unfortunately it fell just a little short in most areas. Nice roasted aroma with hints of coffee that wafted as I drank it. Almost black with a medium beuge head. Roasted, nutty, coffee flavoring but it was a little too carbonated and thin for my tastes.

Pale golden. Yeasty wheat-aroma. Crisp, clean wheat-flavour, somewhat sourish, somewhat watery. A good thirst-quencher.

Unusual and refreshing surprise. Pale yellow, with a hint of Berliner Weisse sourness, and a somewhat soapy mouthfeel.
