A Contemporary style IPA with an Irish twist. Combining the balance of European IPAs with the generous dry hopping of American pale ales (APAs), this beer is everything an IPA should be and more.

Medium, light yellowish head over copper-golden beer, low carbonaion. Hops, slightly spicy and herbal. Sweet, pale & toasted malts; finish has the hops returning. Not really New World, but fruity all the same. Feels better than it looks, medium bodied at best. More than halfway decent.

Grass, pencil shavings, caraway and thyme on the nose. Clear amber, medium yellow head, nice lacing. Honey, orange peel, dough. Medium body, moderate carbonation. Seems to have a herbal spiciness I often find in rye beers. Quite nice.

I thought I rated this one. Bottle at Sheridan?s Irish Pub in Zagreb. Hazy golden, small white head. Elderberry, flowers, meadow. Sweet, light to medium body, medium to high carbonation. Some hoppiness in the finish, some malts also. Nice texture, but to carbonated. I remember this as a better beer while it was on tap.

Tap as part of flight purely for the new brewery tick. Dirty blonde beer sudsy white head. Nose is fruity and fairly malty. Tastes of odd fruits like honey dew that’s been out a bit, some bitter hops, pine sol, malt. Thin and muddy palate.
