Thomas Creek River Falls

I've only tried one Thomas Creek beer before, and it was their Up the Creek.  I really enjoyed it, as did my dad.  He found another of their varieties recently, their River Falls Red Ale, so he gave me a bottle to try:

Vittles:
Irish Red Ale
6.2% abv
25 IBU

Score:
Appearance: 9/10
Aroma: 22/25
Taste: 38/40
Mouthfeel: 8/10
Style: 5/5
Drinkability: 8/10
Overall: 90/100

Impression:
It starts with a very impressive pour, the head has decent retention, and it laces like crazy.  The nose is dominated by toffee and caramel notes, but there are some earthy, spicy, and faintly floral tones in the background.  The flavors follow cleanly, and the solid malt character comes through prominently, complemented by the gentle English hops notes.  There's a slight stickiness to the medium body, but it goes down smooth and finishes crisp and slightly dry.  A light roast character carries into the aftertaste along with the caramel and a hint of spiciness.  All in all, a very good example of an Irish Red Ale, and I'd certainly pick it up again.

Cheers!
