50cl bottle, thanks to Dan. Pours a hazy, pale, lemon colour with a decent head, some of which hangs around. The nose has raisins, hay and then oranges. The taste has more raisins and cereals. The palate is medium-bodied and textured with a dry finish. Overall, this is not a lager in my mind, maybe somewhere between a pale ale and a saison. My least favourite of the 4 I’ve tasted from Whitewater, but a good standard overall.

Light mildly sour, corn and grain. Nothing special, but a step up from the average mainstream lager

Bottled, from Bull and Castle, Dublin, Ireland. Hazy pale golden, creamy head. Citric nose. Sweet and creamy, medium bodied with rounded mouthfeel. Hop aromatic with some tropical fruits. Medium bitterness. Pleasant, if sweet.

Golden coloured body with a light creamy glow and a very nice thick (two centimetre tall) off-white head. Aroma of corn, lemons, oranges, light hops and a touch of metal. Light-bodied; Sharp malty flavour with lemons, metal and some cardboard comes through. Aftertaste shows a light fruity flavour with a subtle hoppiness too. Overall, not such a great beer - fairly mild in flavours, but not horrible tasting at all. Worth a try if you can find this - I thought this was a common find, but it doesn’t look like it is - nice! I sampled this 500 mL bottle purchased from McHughes Off-License in Dublin, Ireland (Republic) on 20-February-2009, sampled at home on this side of the pond in Washington on 08-February-2010.

Bottled. A golden beer with a white head. The aroma has notes of hops and spices - among them ginger. The flavor is sweet with notes of cardboard on a lightly malty back ground, leading to a dry finish where the cardboard note lingers. Thanks KimJohansen for sharing.
