Pours light amber. Aroma of general hops. Taste has general ipa notes, some well-defined juniper and fresh pine notes. Palate is much of the same, citrus, juniper, pine resin. Good.

Poured from a can into a 20oz nonic pint

Opaque, dark brown bordering black, two fingers of dense tan head sits that lasts and lasts leaving some nice lacing when it finally starts to disapate.

Aroma of caramel, roast and hints of chocolate.

Taste follows the aroma with the roast playing heavily into the fairly bitter finish

Wicked smooth medium body, finishes dry and drinks really easy.

Overall a tasty Irish dry stout. Light and easy drinking enough for a session with plenty of substance to keep you coming back for more. The dryness makes you want to keep taking that next drink and I'm all for it

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: copper to orange color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated then left some light lace
Aroma: passion fruit sweet and tart character in front then some piney hop tones; light bready malts underneath
Flavor: pretty much the same as the aroma: finishes passion fruit-like then a citrusy to piney tone
Texture: light to medium bodied - maybe a touch closer to light; some smoothness but also a light dryness
Overall: flavored pale ale with passion fruit, yup and I believe I like this one more than the original version.

Pours clear gold into a willi. White head with little retention recedes to skim surface. Corn and citrus aromas. Crisp with sweet cornbread and citrus upfront turning to marshmallow in the medium length finish.
