A lightly hazed golden amber ale with a thin lacing off white head. In aroma, smooth butterscotch malt with light resinous hops, not bad. In mouth, a smooth biscuit malt with light British hops, but some cloying butterscotch notes. On tap at brewpub, Nov. 11 2011.

Galway Arms, Chicago pint ($6): Pours a nice copper color with a white head. Aroma is rather hop forward, but it is also clear that there will be a solid malt backbone. In many ways, this is a quintessential IPA: well-balanced, sweet, and rather hoppy. There are plenty of citrus notes in there as well. Somewhat on the sweet side of things. More of a sipping IPA than a chugging IPA. Good stuff, and would like to get more from this brewery.

Enjoyed on tap at Revolution Brewery in Chicago, IL while eating dinner with my bandmates. I enjoyed this towards the end of the meal and practically had to chug it before leaving, so maybe this isn’t the most accurate rating, but I remember it being pretty good. Definitely tasted tame, but not watered down, flavorful but subdued. Good stuff.

Enjoyed on tap at Revolution Brewery with my bandmates before a bar show in that area. Appearance is a slightly cloudy dark amber with rich white head. Aroma smells like whole hops, mixture between grassy, citrus, and weed. Taste is an explosion of bitterness and sweet, definite hop dominance with a bit of malt to slightly balance it out. Very good IPA.

Enjoyed on tap at Revolution Brewery in Chicago, IL with some friends prior to seeing the band F*ed Up. Didn’t take notes while drinking, but this was a decent offering from one of my least favorite styles. Definite nutty / malt presence and I remember this being a bit tart, and also remember that this was towards the bottom of the keg which may have altered the taste a bit. Still pretty decent though.

Enjoyed on tap at Revolution Brewery in Chicago, IL with some friends prior to seeing the band F*ed Up. I didn’t take tasting notes, but from what I remember this looked really nice in the glass, dark amber with a rich head in a weiss glass. Aroma was a bit faint, but definite malt presence. The one thing that stuck out for me was that this one had an apricot flavor, which could’ve been an off-flavor, definitely ester-y and yeasty. It was still good, just tasted like it may have come from the bottom of the keg.
