On draught at the brewery, with Eyedrinkale on 8/5/2005. Hmm seems like everyone else hates this stuff, but then, I’m not surrpised to have found it quite enjoyable on draught. McNeills strongpoint isnt exactly in bottling. Pours a lightly hazy, soft hay and golden yellow with a well-retained, small white head. Aroma of light grassiness, mint, herbs, more hay and dry toasty, pale grains. Some yeastiness adds a bit of fruitiness, light peaches and apricots. Flavor has a note of pale malt up front, moderately sweet, light creamy/sugariness, with a rough hops edge, grassy and fresh, but not very bitter. Good body, with an unfiltered, substantial texture, grainy and has a crisp kick on the finish. Moderate carbonation. Didnt find any diacetyl or any other bad notes in my sample. Wasnt too dry, flat, papery, etc... Nice and refreshing, quite drinkable.
