Yeah, actually. I liked it at first, and then quickly tired of it. (I don’t particularly care how people see it: if I like it, I like it. I did, then I didn’t.)
Current fave: Newcastle Brown Ale.
Have you tried Sam Adams Irish Red? It’s a rather good version of the stuff. There’s a small Connecticut brewer, Thomas Hooker, that makes a really tasty Irish Red ale. It’s very had to find even in NY/NJ.
Newcastle is quite good but man, for a six-pack in Iowa I’ve seen prices around NINE bucks and that’s not just at some gas station trying to gouge you but at the better places to buy alcoholic beverages.
