A punchy red ale delivering good bittering and aroma hop balance, with ripe berry fruits on the finish. Named after 3 summits within our splendid Irish Mourne Mountain range.

500ml bottle (BB 30th June 2024), shared with minutemat at my house on 6th November 2023 during a mega tasting, Panda for Grumbo too. Irish Red Ale, looks fine and tasty, clear mahogany red with a cream coloured head. Malty with an earthy/nutty undertone, it's a very pleasant beer and not too sweet for a Red Ale.
