3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 GnarlyGnome (815) - Fairfield, Ohio, USA - JUN 7, 2015
Draft: This is a go-to style for many beginning craft drinkers, and so sometimes gets overlooked by people who have been craft drinkers for a while. This beer might bring some of them back to the style...this is damn good. Very sweet in flavor... awesome.

Draft at the brewpub March 2013. Pours a clear amber brown color with a medium sized off white head. The aroma and flavor have caramel, toasted bread, a hint of spicy hops, earth with a light sweetness to the finish. Decent example of the style.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 phaleslu (7831) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - APR 5, 2013
Draft at the source, served in a sampler. Pours a cloudy, rich red color with a small off-white head. Aroma of fresh bread and some toasted malts, grass and herbs, and a little spice. Flavor of grass, celery, sweet and toasted malts, spice, and a bit of chocolate malt. Light-medium bodied, with a smooth mouthfeel and moderate carbonation. Theres another note I cant quite place that Ive found in Irish ales before; cant figure it out. Nonetheless, this is a really nice example of the style from my experience.

16oz pint at Fifty West. Was there with my mom trying out their food, she had some of my beer too. Being the week after St Patricks Day, I was presented with a choice of 3 formats for this brew: CO2, Nitro, or Cask. I went with nitro. Mostly clear brick-red color. Good thin khaki head, leaves thick lace. Nice smooth creamy nitro texture. Medium body. Very easy to drink. Light caramel malts, light spicy hops. Hint of chocolate, little toastiness. Lightly sweet, light bitterness. Good balance in the taste. Nitro tap makes it an easy drinker. Awesome Irish ale.

Draft. Poured reddish brown with an average frothy off-white head that lasted and produced good lacing. Moderate toasted sweet malt aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Medium sweet flavor with a sweet finish of moderate duration. This beer would go well with spicy food or a cigar.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 b3shine (6925) - Indiana, USA - MAR 16, 2013
Draft to taster at Fifty West. Looks good for the style; a semi-opaque deep brownish-amber with foamy off-white head that dissipates into sticky lacing. Smells and tastes sweet and malty with notes of caramel. Solid on the palate. A good example of the style.
