Anchor Steam Beer  Style: Steam Beer (session) Brewery: Anchor Brewing Company (USA - San Francisco, California) 90 Points -Beverage Testing Institute 85 Points -Beer Advocate 2006 "Rich amber hue. Moderately full-bodied. Medium bitterness. Aromas show an assertively aromatic hop character and subtle caramel notes. Full flavored with a fine toasty malt palate and a crisp, clean character with an almost Pilsner-like bitterness to the finish." -Beverage Tasting Institute     Belhaven Scottish Ale (5% ABV) Style: Scottish Ale (session) Brewery: Belhaven (Greene King) (Dunbar, East Lothian, Scotland) 88 Points -Beverage Testing Institute 85 Points -Beer Advocate 2006 "Deep, copper color with a frothy head. Roasted nut and smoky, bark-like aromas. A racy entry leads to a creamy, medium-bodied palate with dark roasted malt and nuts, smoked peat, and a nice touch of treacle and molasses. Finishes with a crisp brush of mild, citrusy hops and fresh cut grass. A round, elegant style." -Beverage Tasting Institute     Coopers Sparkling Ale Style: Golden Ale (session) Brewery: Coopers Brewery Ltd. (Regency Park, South Australia) 9 Mugs/Must Try -Opinionated Beer Page 90 Points -Beverage Testing Institute Gold Medal -World Beer Championships "This is an incredibly fine ale. Solid ale flavour but with fruity undertones that give it a nice unique flavour. The aftertaste is there but with little bite. Meaning that this beer goes down remarkably smooth. So if you like beer with flavour that you can drink easily and quickly, look for this one." -Opinionated Beer Page     Flying Dog Doggie Tire Bite Golden Ale  (5.1% ABV) Style: Kolsch  (session) Brewery: Flying Dog Ales (Broadway Brewing) (USA - Denver, Colorado) Silver Medal -98 Great American Beer Festival Tire Bite Golden Ale is based on a German-Style lager known as Kolsch.  Brewed with imported German perle hops, this is a refreshing summer slammer that draws craft beer drinkers back  from the dark side of the cooler during those hot summer months.     Flying Dog Old Scratch Style: Steam Beer Brewery: Flying Dog Ales (Broadway Brewing) (USA - Denver, Colorado) Silver Medal -2006 World Beer Cup Gold Medal -2005 Great American Beer Festival Gold Medal -2004 Great American Beer Festival Ideal for the Lager drinker who prefers amber beers, the "Scratch" is a smooth, malt-accentuated lager.  Brewed in the "Steam-Style" tradition, scratch is a so-called hybrid beer that is fermented at medium temperatures to develop some ale and lager characteristics.     Fullers ESB  (5% ABV) Style: ESB (session) Brewery: Fullers (London, England) 92 Percentile -Ratebeer.com 2006 90 Points -Beverage Testing Institute 88 Points -Beer Advocate 2006 Gold Medal -World Beer Championships "Medium amber with nice malt and hop aromatics. Grainy and slightly vegetal notes upfront are followed by a good dose of bitterness, carrying through to a pleasant lingering finish." -Beverage Testing Institute     Hobgoblin  Style: ESB Brewery: Wychwood (Refresh UK) (Witney, Oxfordshire, England) 91 Points -Beverage Testing Institute Gold Medal -World Beer Championships "Dark copper. Toffee, dried fruit, and salty roasted nut aromas. Soft and smooth with off-dry caramelized malt and raisin flavors. Finishes with sweet mild citrus and earthy hops. Deep, almost woody, malt flavor, superb drinkability, and ripe fruit flavor make this a devilish treat." -Beverage Tasting Institute     Mendocino Red Tail Ale  (6% ABV) Style: Amber Ale (session) Brewery: Mendocino Brewing Company (USA - Hopland, California) 4 1/4 Stars -Alcoholreviews.com Recommended...“Amber Ales can be clean, refreshing and yet full of flavor. Take Mendocino's Red Tail Ale for example. Beginning with a clear, deep amber hue and a tall, frothy off-white head Red Tail is already a departure from the ordinary. Inviting, but light, malt aromas of caramel, cookie and toasted bread segue to crisp floral and orange hop tones. Malt sweetness is reserved in the flavor, steering clear of being too heavy or cloying. Moderate finishing bitterness and a soft acidity keep Red Tail quite refreshing. Ending with a medium body, soft texture and lively carbonation anyone would be hard pressed to disagree with a Red Tail on a warm day.” -Brandon Fry (Habersham Beer Connoisseur)     Otter Head  Style: Premium Bitter/ ESB Brewery: Otter (England - Honiton, Devon)   Fruity aroma and taste with a pleasant bitter finish. Dark brown and full-bodied.     Redhook ESB Style: ESB (session) Brewery: Redhook Brewery (Woodinville, Washington USA)   Featured..."...well-developed, vigorously bitter brew with balancing, sweet caramel-malt qualities...blending of bitter and sweet as the copper-amber body warms to room temp. An ongoing citrus presence nicely complements the enveloping, hop-accented aroma. Its somewhat dry finish has helped make this pioneering ESB a lasting fixture on the American beer scene." -365 Bottles of Beer for the Year     Samuel Adams Boston Ale Style: Amber Ale (session) Brewery: Boston Beer Company (USA - Boston, Massachusetts) 89 Points -Beverage Testing Institute 85 Points -Beer Advocate 2006 "Brilliant amber hue. Round, buttered caramel apple aromas. A rich entry leads to a frothy medium-to full-bodied palate with toasty grain malt and grapefruit-like citrus flavors. Finishes with a crisp, clean fade and a nice balance of bittering hops. Tasty, but more of an American stock ale than a classic Alt." -Beverage Testing Institute     Smithwick's Irish Ale Style: Irish Ale (session) Brewery: Guinness (County Louth, Ireland) 5 Gold Medals -Monde Select Beer Tasting Competition Smithwick’s is Ireland’s number one ale.

Additionally, the hop profile is very low and almost nonexistent in terms of bitterness. We’re proud to call Wexford the easiest drinking beer we tasted this issue.
