An Irish Craft Lager, a malt focused lager brewed using the finest Irish Malting Barley from Cork, with a fruity hop to add a mellow fruit flavor, well rounded, clean crisp and refreshing. This lager has good mouthfeel and is full bodied.

20th Aug 2019, Shrewsbury monthly share at Chez Sophie. Cheers to me for bringing this 500ml bottle (BBE May 2020). Huge white head on a slightly hazed golden body. It's a grainy lager with a tad more sweetness than bitterness, OK for what it is.

500ml bottle @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, Aug 19. Thanks Jeremy for this garden centre find. Pours unclear gold, large frothy white head. High carbonation, gently sweet malt, grainy but generally a bit nondescript, fair bitterness, high carbonation is a bit off-putting.

Bottle at home in Northern Ireland. A hazed dull gold coloured pour with a fine white head. Aroma is dull grains, soapy, light apple,. Flavour is composed of light grains, little toffee, apple, chalky, dull sweaty grains. Palate is light grains, chalky, moderate carbonation. Pretty shit.
