Bottle. Smells a little malty and palate follows; malty and smooth. However, just a tad of that astringent bitter bite hiding in the background. Overall, quite mild and acceptable down thru the middle and up over the end. Hides its 6.5% rather well. Not bad for an irish ale with a higher %. Doesn't even come across as wee heavy! heheheh
