Bottle sample at a tasting at Dancing Camel. Thanks Tom L. Clear deep golden. Aroma of malt, light fruitiness, a bit of graininess, caramel, a bit of candy. Sweetish flavor with malt, caramel, fruitiness, a bit of minerals, and a bitterish finish. Light-bodied. Pretty easy-drinking.

Good looking beer. Clear copper color with a fine frothy white head. Nice lacing. Caramel malty and herbal aroma. Medium body and a fine carbonation. Moderate sweet and a moderate bitterness. Malty and herbal flavor. Nothing wrong with this one. A fine session able beer in the summer sun. Also a bit boring I must admit.

500mL bottle from Molloys. Pours a deep gold to copper, thin white head that dissipates quickly, no lacing on the glass. Aroma of grassy hops and some citrus, taste is similar with a thin mouthfeel.

Bottle from O’Briens, Athlone [290514]
Dark golden, clear, frothy white head, some lacing
Aroma of very soft citrus, soft sweet slight honey malts, light nose
Taste of soft caramel, slight dull lemon, dab of honey, very low hop content, plain
Palate - Moderate carb, fairly thin body, bit oily. Finish as main flavour, rapid, bit of sweet caramel, slight bitter honey
Overall - Easy drinking but too subtle, no faults other than being bland, very average
