440ml can in Bushmills in preparation for visiting Rathlin Island the next day. Unfortunately didn't see one of these native golden hares, only 4 on the island with blue eyes apparently! Hazed, almost murky golden amber, thin white head. Biscuity and then some.

330ml can via Beer52. Poured into my Good People Brewing Company glass at home on 22nd June 2026. Almost clear golden body, weak white head that soon did a runner. Dry and bitter in the mouth, malty nose that doesn't transfer into the taste. Not what I expected an Irish Pale Ale to be like, actually, I'm not too sure what an Irish Pale Ale should taste like.
