Malt Heavy with a healthy balancing dose of hops, Fir Bolg aspires to its mythical name. The Fir Bolg were one of the original clans that inhabited Ireland. We’ve chosen the finest malts for this beer which packs a tasty punch – Munich and Vienna malts along with some caramel plus a fine sized balancing dose of hops. This lager is all about the malts. They are to the forefront, smacking you around a little bit. You’ll thank us this has been left to age.

Bottle at Cotteridge Tasting, Saturday 24th January 2015 Creamy head, it is a rather murky (looks a bit grim) little bit of a tang. I think I may have ended up with the sediment. Little bit of fruit skin, ok. In fact I will mark the appearance as a rather neutral 3/5 as I think I must have had much of the dregs. Btw big thanks to Beersiveknown for all of the Irish beers.

Bottle from Drinkstore, Dublin [120414]
Amber, murky, huge head off white that dissipates, over carbonated, poor appearance
Aroma of soft sweet light fruity malt, hint of berry fruits
Taste of soft light sweet malts, slight fruits, rather watery, very little hops, bland and characterless
Palate - Flat as a pancake, light body, slightly oily, soft sweet. Finish is rapid, slight bitterness
Overall - No condition, dull, overall a poor beer, down the sink it goes...

Bottle. I think this May be off, murky orange with no head. Heavily fermented smell. Flavour is marmalade, sticky. Not sure it should taste like this. Will try this one again if I come across it.
