On tap @ a random hotel in Londonderry. More or less a clear one this, it has a mild brown copper colored body and a creamy off-white head on the top, lots of dots down the glasses. Smells really mild. A little caramel sweetness, toffee and a mild vegetal hint. Mild. Tastes much the same, just even a little more dryish and boring. Thin oily in the mouth and it's mild on the carbonation as well. Pretty standard Irish stuff really. Nothing special about it other than the fact that it's being consumed in Northern Ireland. 05.06.2016
