A pale amber ale from our oldest local brewery using Cascade hops and Munich malts this is a beer that enjoys wonderful balance between hop bitterness and malt presence and is named after the graffiti image of a headless Labrador on the old brew-house wall.

Copper colour with thin head. Aroma and flavour have some toasted malt. Decent body. Fine carbonation. Well balanced and sessionable.

500 ml bottle, as Hilden Headless Dog, from Tesco Express, Belfast. ABV is 4.2%. Golden colour, moderate to small white head. Meaty aroma, weird, only the slightest hint of citrussy hops (Cascade). The flavour is more distinctly citrussy, but also slightly vinegary and woody, and tastes infected. Crap.

Bottle from Nina’s mini market. Appearance - golden amber with a nice fluffy head. Nose - digestive biscuits and light lemon. Taste - more biscuits and citrus. Palate - light bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - nice easy drinking beer.

Bottle just called Hilden Headless Dog. Amber with a very thin head. Well-balanced with a very light fruitiness in its hop and asome light malts too.

Flaska inköpt i Dublin, tack snälla frun! Doftar bröd och smörkakor, typiskt brittiskt. Blommig och lite karamellig smak. Tja vad skall jag säga, tusen nyanser av brittisk pale ale. They look the same and taste the same....

Pale ale, dorada clara pero menos que su hermana Belfast Blonde. Espuma mucho mas densa y abundante, sin pasarse. Mas seca y amarga. Tambien con mas cuerpo y sabor. Bien lupulada. Apreciable.
