On tap at King's Head Pub, Galway. Unclear amber, moderately lasting creamy tan head. Soft to moderate caramel aroma, moderately toasty, light dried fruit nad light bread. Flavour is sweet, toasty, bready, caramely, with light bitterness and a dry finish. Smooth, soft texture and carbonation, drinkable and balanced.
