beer_name: Great Lakes Conway's Irish Ale
text: As the style suggests, this beer is a red/copper color. It is crystal clear and has a tan creamy head. The head, however, is small and quickly dissipates. There is lacing along the sides of the glass, which gives the beer an apetizing look when tipped/being drunk. When agitated the lacing thickens, and moves more towards the center of the glass. In my opinion, the beer would look much better if there were better head retention. To the nose this beer is also pleasing. The aroma is not quite as potent as I would like but, even though hard to smell, it smells good. I detect a slight lightly roasted/toasted smell in this beer, and don't really smell any aromas that I can attribute to hop charater. This beer is good. I really appreciate the flavor of this brew. It has a carmel taste with hints of lightly roasted/toasted flavors as well. It is sweet in the mouth, and in the after taste there is more of the light roasted/toasted flavor. Overall it is a good brew, however, there are better beers from the Great Lakes Brewing Co. The mouthfeel of this beer is pretty good as well. I believe that the medium body of this beer is appropriate to the style. It feels a bit heavier and thicker than water on the palate and has a dry finish. It is very easy to drink, and is much better warmer as opposed to colder. Not quite a session beer, but I could just chill with some buddies and drink this one all night long. This is a beer that I'll probably buy next winter when it hits the shelves again.
