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 @ Højbjerg tasting 27 July. Pours clear tea amber with airy off-white head. Clear aroma of malt, with notes of caramel and touches of yeast. Bitter, hoppy flavour with notes of yeast and malt and touches of caramel. Bitterish and estery aftertaste with malty touches. Okay but nothing illuminating.
