A Classic Irish style. A Balanced easy drinking beer with subtle caramel, toffee and chocolate aromas. A nod to sweetness, lightly hopped tea like character and a soft toasted malt finish.
Before 2019 brewed at Boundary.

Bottle at home in Crumlin picked up from Tesco supermarche Crumlin. A hazed autumnal brown amber coloured pour with a lasting loose beige head. Aroma is semi sweet, brown bread, brown leaves, rye, dirty grains. Flavour is composed of dry brown bread, autumnal leaves, toffee, chalky mineral, rustic leaves.. Palate is thin, chalky, spritzy carbonation. Decent.

Bottle. Hazy amber body with a thin off-white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of earth and stewed tea. Flavour of tea and cranberry. Thin to medium body with a slick texture. Light fizz. Slightly astringent but fine overall.
