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.

Cask @ PorterHouse, Dublin. Orange opaque, pas de col. Arôme avec de bonnes notes de citron et d’orange ainsi que de houblons fleuri. Un palais qui est léger, fleur de houblon, citronné et fruité; abricot avec une faible carbonnation. Herbeux avec qcq notes de levure et épices. Malt pale, une bière facile à boire et qui serait peut être meilleure en bouteille.

Cask at the FFTMC beer festival, Oxford, 26.03.11 Pours light amber with a tiny white head that in fact is more just a light film. Good clarity another good looking beer, however this one (on the bar) was just a tiny bit warm. Lacking a little zest, old fashioned taste there is a sort of licking dusty walnut shells flavour to this, maltiness, its ok. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov12 3.1

Bottled, from The Drink Store, Dublin. Clear pale amber, rich head. Floralhay aroma. Fairly sweet with light-medium body and rounded, vital mouthfeel. Rich on english hops. Sweaty hay-like bitterness. A nice bottled bitter.

Bottled. A hazy golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma is slightly acidic with notes of elderflowers. The flavor is acidic with notes of elderflowers, leading to a dry acidic finish. Thanks KimJohansen for sharing.

Cask, Head of Steam, Liverpool. Slightly hazy golden colour with a medium off white head. Aroma not leaping out, could be my snotty nose playing up though. Watery feel to this gig, really rather uninspiring fayre. Sweetish malt, lacking in bitterness. Not great.
