Keg at Brew Dock, Dublin, 03/11/23. Golden amber with a good sized lasting off white head ... good full glass lacing ensues. Nose is caramel, bitter orange, straw, toasted grains, biscuit. Taste comprises caramel malts, hint of pine, good bitter edge, candied orange peel. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with balanced earthy hop bitterness. Decent for the style.

Keg @ Gasworks Bar, Dublin [290416]
Dark amber, clear, nice dense off white head, good lacing
Aroma of soft sweet caramel
Taste of toasted malts, caramel toffee, soft caramel orange, very light zesty hops, soft herbal, soft fruits, bit unusual
Palate Soft carb, medium body, creamy, texture like English cask, light sweet, smooth. Finish of soft caramel
Overall - Soft easy drinking beer, nice caramel malts. Quite malty and not that hoppy - too expensive to session

Draught at Alfie Byrnes. Honey amber with a thin head. Aroma is pine needs. Flavour is chalky hop, pine, full mouth light bitter. Long dry finish. Really nicely balanced.
