3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20 superspak (3627) - Michigan, USA - SEP 30, 2015
12 ounce bottle into pint glass, best before 8/31/2015. Pours crystal clear reddish copper color with a 1 finger fairly dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings down the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of caramel, brown bread, toasted biscuit, light nuttiness/roast, herbal, light pepper, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/bready/roast malt and light-moderate earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of caramel, brown bread, toasted biscuit, light nuttiness/roast, herbal, light pepper, and yeast earthiness. Light herbal/spicy/roast bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of caramel, brown bread, toasted biscuit, light nuttiness/roast, and herbal/toasted earthiness on the finish for a short bit. Moderate dryness after the finish for roasted bitterness. Good complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/bready/roast malt and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; with a good malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Fairly clean on lager flavors with minimal yeast ester notes present. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, fairly crisp, and lightly bready/chalky mouthfeel that is good. Alcohol is very well hidden with zero warming present after the finish as expected of 4.9%. Overall this is a very solid Irish Red styled lager. All around good robustness, complexity, and balance of dark/bready/roast malt and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; and very smooth and crisp to drink. A pleasantly enjoyable offering.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 beer_rookie (189) - Arkansas, USA - SEP 1, 2015
Pours a reddish copper color. About two finger beige color head. It doesnt last long, not much lacing.
Aroma is coffee and toffee. Medium roasted barley malt. I bet if you did a blind taste test, youd be surprised. The aroma would stand up to anything in the style.
Taste follows the nose. Coffee and toffee. Barley malts. Its pretty sweet, but a touch of bitter at the end. Very nice.
Mouthfeel is very very smooth. Likewise very very drinkable. Body is medium.
Overall, this is very tasty. Its a lot better than I remember. I dont think youll be disappointed.
This isa beer I loved in college. The guys and I loved this stuff back then. We thought we were something drinking this. Everyone else was drinking Bud Light, we were drinking these, oooh yeah! Let the good times roll!
