3.65/5 rDev +4%
look: 4.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4.5

a : Crisp, clear, amber color. Generated about an inch of dence ivory head which left very nice lacing.
s : Smells faintly of flowers and corn. Not too much to talk about here.
t : Light honey sweet and malty with some slight bittering. The flavor doesn't stick around long after the beer is gone. Reminds me of brown ales with a little less smothness.
m : Thin and carbonated. More carbonation than I expected here. Goes down smooth and cleanses the pallet well.
d : If I was in a pub in Ireland this is not the beer I would choose to drink, but if I was at a bar in the states I would choose this to drink for my happy hour, assuming they didn't have anything better.

Overall not a bad beer, it seems like it matches up with the style nicely, so it might be a bit unfair to compare it to other styles of beer. This is a pretty good irish red. Enjoy it.
