Sample at the brewpub. The beer pours a clear pale golden color with a medium white head that evaporates steadily. Small patches of lacing. Aroma of mild hops and bready malt. Light body with flavors of herbal hops and sweet malt. There is a touch of citrus there too. The finish is lightly bitter with a hoppy aftertaste. Decent overall.

Draught at O’Neills, Dublin. Clear pale golden, minimal head. Fruity nose with sligh tspicy hops. Light bodied with clean, spritzy mouthfeel. Slight salty bitterness. A straightforward beer, more in line with the commercial examples of kölsch than the more traditional ones.

Draft @ O’Neills, Dublin. Dorée pale, col blanc. Arôme, houblon herbeux, note légère de levure rappelant l’étable avec un nez végétale et dans le style avec très peu de traces de malt. Au goût une bière avec un profile houblonné et fleuri laissant une bonne amertume en bouche ainsi que une légère présence de grains/orge. Pas mauvaise, mais pas vraiment mon style.

Crystal clear gold coloured body with a large white head and tons of bubbles rising from the bottom of the glass. Aroma of malt, soap and clean fresh hops. Light-bodied; Mild malty flavour showing some yeast, a bit of sugars and a nice drying taste. Aftertaste shows some sugars, a dash of light german hops and a maltiness which lasts on the palate. Overall, a nice beer to try in Ireland, but not an amazing beer. Stick with Galway Hooker if you only get one here. I sampled this pint on draught at the Bull & Castle in Central Dublin, Republic of Ireland on 20-February-2009.

Blonde colour. Mossy-herbal hop aroma. Soft, modest bitterness and some light leafy hops. Decent, fairly straightforward beer.
