On tap at the Brazen Head, Dublin on 16th July 2025. Slightly hazy amber with yellow tinged foam and full lacing. Orange citrus aroma. Citrus seltzer in-mouth with light peels and juices. A strong malt transient heralds a finish of soft citrus and maltiness. Light bodied with a crisp mouthfeel.

Best before end of 2024, bottle coming from Amstein. Sharing it yesterday with my wife. A classic of the pale ale world, good way to brew beers, dry and mineral, malty, a bit watery and light, aromatic and floral bitterness, a bit resinous, citrus. 15.01.25
