An India pale lager - an IPL if you will. It transgresses with impunity, exploring and searching for unique flavours without adhering to rigid beer styles. This isn’t your typical lager. No, it’s not. We have taken a clean and crisp German lager base and added new world hops; cascade, Nelson Sauvin and citra to shine.

Bottle at home. Aroma is big fruity hops, tropical, grapefruit, zesty citrus, orange peel, some biscuity malt, grassy. Flavour is medium bitter. Body is medium. Incredible beer, a total fruit bomb with the refreshing crispness of a good Lager. Excellent!

Taste medium sweet and bitter, malty, fruity, citrusy. Fruity bittersweet aftertaste, dry bitter finish, herbal touch. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation, crisp, fresh and tasty, very pleasant, excellent IPL.

Mild gusher. Light haze on this gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Softish palate, mildly dry and with reasonable fine carbonation. Light malts but no real lager character. Pretty hoppy - smooth skunk, orange and orange peel. Nice light tropical fruits. Soft piney finish. Nice beer.

Bottle from O’Brien’s, Athlone [081115]
Golden, slight haze, big bubbly white head
Aroma of citrus zest, some sharp lemon zest, grapefruit, bit herbal, light sweet malt background, clean hoppy nose
Taste of bitter citrus zest, really hoppy, pithy lemon and grapefruit, getting some peppery hop, nice light malt background lets the hops through
Palate - soft carb, medium body, bitter hops with light sweet malt, clean palate. Finish as main flavour, bitter zest fruits
Overall - Very good - more a good hoppy golden ale with light malts than a lager
