Take #2 - Can from Supervalu, Carrick on Shannon [290417]
I’m liking this more...like the sweet toffee malts in this...up to 3.4

Can from a Centra in Sligo [050317] 6/2/7/3/14 3.2
Brown, very murky, thin beige head, doesn’t look great, not a pale ale - same colour as a brown ale or ESB
Aroma of soft sweet caramel malts, hint of fruity malts, light nose
Taste of caramel malts, some roasted malt, quite bitter soft earthy hops, toffee malts, malty beer, good flavoured malts in this
Palate - Medium carb and body, fairly rich texture, quite sweet malts. Finish as main flavour, brown malts, bitter toasted malts
Overall - Tasty beer, despite off-putting appearance. Good malts in this, not like anything else on the Irish craft beer market. Should be relabelled as an ESB, calling this a Pale Ale is ridiculous. I’m usually not too bothered about appearance but this was way too murky - improving the appearance and a relabelling is all that’s needed, no need to up the hops - there’s too few malty beers available in Ireland

Draught at 57. Cloudy amber with a full head. Aroma of hop and nut. Flavour is pale malt, a little metallic, dried caramel, tart dry finish
