Keg @ Black Sheep, Dublin [191114]
Dark amber red, slight haze, thin bubbly off white head, some lacing
Aroma of soft sweet fruity malts, soft berry fruits, soft citrus, dab of orange
Taste of bitter zest hops, red berry fruit malts, bitter orange, dab of piney hops, sticky caramel base, nice soft spicy yeast in this, rich flavour, alcohol a tad noticeable
Palate - Medium carb, medium to full body, quite sticky. Finish is rather dry, bitter spicy yeast and zest, fruity malts, seemed a bit over bitter initially, dab of alcohol
Overall - A beer with some saison yeast characteristics in there, but mainly lots of fruity malts and bitter zest. Decent flavour in this.

Draught at Against the Grain. Ruby with a thin head, excellent lacing. Flavour is quite strong on the spice, peppery malt, similar nose. Extremely dry finish, some fizzy yeast. Quite intense taste,
