Golden tan-light brown color. Nice head, average. Mild hint of malt. Slightly bitter, though bitter for an ale. I have always liked McSorley's. I first had this beer in 92'. It is a good gateway beer to bigger and better things, but definitely not a bad beer to revisit from time to time. Another beer that I won't go out of my for; although I will stop in McSorley's when I'm in the neighborhood.

A good option if you need to stretch your money.

Average looking beer, clarity, yellow/copper, average head. Aroma lacking anything beyond a minimal sweetness.

Wish there were more hops. Bland pale ale. Thin on hops and malt. English style pale ale at best. Lots of water in this one. No offputting flavors, just really, not much in flavor, unless mildly sweet counts. Pass.

Poured a reddish amber with a finger of off-white, average retention, and decent lacing. Malty, malty, and more malty; very sweet and caramel in the nose. The taste was no different, with lots of sweet caramel/malt flavor and a sweet finish. The body was medium and well carbonated, but it may have seemed thicker because of the sweet flavor. A very one-dimensional beer.

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 2.5 | overall: 4.5

Look: Poured 12 oz bottle into mug. Almost no foam! Great reddish-brown color.

Smell: Big malted barley smell with really unique hops. Also it has a unique chocolate smell.

Taste: It has that "Irish" taste to it, I really can't describe it better than if you've had any beer like Guinness. Other than that it has a good clean water taste with a barley, hops, and light chocolate flavor.

Mouthfeel: Pretty thin only thing that is left behind after your done with your drink is a smoky "Irish" flavor.

Drinkability: Surprisingly real easy! Nothing hinders the easiness of enjoying this beer. I was surprised to find out that Pabst made this beer. It has no Pabst taste at all. Really good beer, and worth a try, if you can find it.

This wasn't bad, and I think many are rating against the big brewery concept. Poured from the bottle to a orange-amber color, a thin off white head that dissipated quickly and little lacing. Aroma was pretty muted, but what was there was spicy fruit. Mouthfeel was tingly and medium bodied, with a taste of spices and slight fruited hops. Finish pleasant and full. Would make a good session beer.
