Great Lakes Conways Irish Ale

4/5

AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20

12 ounce bottle. Pours crystal clear reddish amber color with a foamy 2 finger off white head with very good retention that reduces to a fairly dense lacing cap. Leaves some nice dense lacing on the glass as you drink. Aromas of plum, apple, caramel, bread and spices. The aromas are very strong and smells very malty with a bit of a sour twang to it. Taste matches the nose pretty well: Bread, caramel, some fruits, spices, and a slight amount of hop bitterness on the finish that lasts for a bit. Mostly malt forward, but there is also a fair amount of hop flavor in the brew. Very smooth drinking with very minimal alcohol presence, only some slight warming after the finish. Medium carbonation and body. Overall it is a very tasty brew that has very good drinkability, and it actually reminds me of Christmas Ale in some aspects. An all around solid and tasty brew in all aspects.

Another great seasonal from Great Lakes!
