look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 3 | overall: 3.5

A - The beer poured a darker shade of amber with some clarity...a white head formed and showed some decent retention...good lacing

S - Light notes of sweet caramel malts and toasted bread...an earthy hop presence

T - There is a nice sweetness upfront from the caramel roasted malts...you get both the sweet and roastedness from the malts...there's a grain presence in the middle of the beer that rounds out the sweetness...the ending of the beer provides a surprising hop bit that is a little floral and earthy

M - Medium bodied...thin and a little metallic twang when it warms up...lingering hop profile was nice

D - The growler was pretty easy to drink...the flavors really worked together and the hop presence was a nice touch...the feeling was left to be desirable

Poured a nice amber color with some good head and lacing. Nice malty scent, a near-deep malty aroma. Nice flavor, a good amber ale maltiness, but it didn't have the tang of a really good Irish red. Goes down nice. This would've been a pretty decent amber ale, but it just doesn't quite cut it as an Irish red.

Pours a dark amber color with a 3/4 inch off-white head. Some sticky lacing along the top.

Scent was mostly of toasty hopps.

The taste consisted of toasty hops, sweet caramel malts, a bit nutty and kind of watery.

This had a pretty thin and watery feel to it, very little carbonation.

This was relatively easy to drink. It seemed quite a bit too watery which took away from the taste a little.

Purchased a growler of this, poured into a large mug.

Deep amber and garnet color. Head is creamy white, leaves some lacing.

Not much aroma, but it is a little sweet smelling. Mild hop undertone.

It is smooth to drink with a little carbonation to balance it.

Taste is sweet and malty. I could pick up some hop bitterness. Toffee flavors, possibly some citrus.

Overall, not bad. I liked it better than others of this style I have had.

On tap at the Harrisburg location on 2/28/09. Served in an oversized mug.

Pours a clear amber with nearly a finger of creamy brite-white head. This actually retains pretty darn well, bunching up around the edges with some thin wisps in the center, leaving a nice looking cascade of spotty lacing back. The aroma isn't very assertive to say the least. Very light notes of bread, caramel, and spicy floral hops. Like I said, it's there but doesn't pop in any way.

The taste luckily has a bit more presence to it. Caramel sweetness balanced by toasted grains and some moderate bitterness. The mouthfeel is light-medium bodied. The carbonation possesses a bit of a prickle to it but the overall feel is a little too soft in the mouth.

Not bad. The taste definitely brought more to the table than the aroma did. Maybe a bit more of a hop profile might have jazzed this up some more. You could definitely toast St. Patties day with worse though!

A: Poured a deep reddish-copper color, with a thin creamy white head.

S: sweet, but dry caramel, and floral hop bittering.

T: The initial flavor was sweet and dry toasted caramel accompanied by a light hop spiciness. Overall the palate was dry while the hopping was light-medium in nature allowing the maltiness to come through nicely. The beer finishes with a rich caramel and spiciness from the hops.

M: creamy and sweet with a medium fullness, and slighty chewy maltiness.

D: Good everyday pub ale and one that is moderately good in numbers.
