Tap in a bar in Kilkenny. Nose is over ripe fruit, almost got a bitter-like nose. Taste is quite boring, not a proper pale ale.

Bottle from Beers of Europe shared with Ashton McCobb. Pours clear golden amber with a thin white head. Aromas of biscuit and butterscotch. Taste is light sweet, more biscuit. Faint, and I mean faint, balancing bitterness. Thin finish.

Draft @ The Queen's Bar & Steak Room, Dalkey. Clear gold with a nice white head. Aroma of citrus fruits and grass. Taste is malty and fruity (grapefruits, lemons). Moderately bitter. Medium carbonation. Refreshing. Nothing special really but I was kind of exhausted and dehydrated so I enjoyed it oh so much.
