Many thanks to beerhunter111 for sharing! Fresh smooth floral beer. Lots of floral hops, pine, resin with lots of malty Ale character in the body. Round and refreshing, not too sweetish, sessionable with a crisp and piney aftertaste. Very nice.

Bottle from Dicey Reilly in Ballyshannon. Appearance - amber with a nicely proportioned head. Nose - fruitcake with dried lemon peel. Taste - dried fruit with a popcorn finish. There’s a citrus note lurking throughout. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy yet crunchy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - good complex beer.

Bottle at The Garrick, pours a clear bronze with a medium white head. Nose brings out English hops, some toffee and bready malt. Flavour is quite fruity, with stone fruits, English hops and toffee. Not a very good balance nor very pleasant flavours. Passable but nothing interesting.
