Farmers Friend Irish Style Ales - Palisade Brewery - Colorado

So this is an aromatic beer to be sure, but the first thing that struck me about it was how watery it tasted. Very low on the Hop scale, probably a .5 or a 1, you can barely taste that there are even hops in here.

I would say that any taste this beer has is all up front, with very little on the back end. Not one I would personally recommend for all day type drinking, I would say this is much closer to an ale than anything else.

My fiancee was quick to point out that Irish style beers are supposed to be robust and distinctive, this beer doesn't really qualify. "it leaves something to be desired"

I give this a 2 out of 5 overall. This ain't your drunk uncle's beer. In fact, after a little discussion, we came to the conclusion that if we'd ordered this beer in a restaurant, we would have been disappointed.
Keep trying palisades.
