Tap at Against the Grain, Dublin. Poured a clear straw colour with a thin broken white head. The aroma is yeast, grainy malt, light citrus hop. The flavour is moderate to light bitter with a light woody hop bitter palate and a long bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

Hazed golden color with a nice white head. Good lacing. Citric, mild tropical and fresh pine in this one. Medium body and a fine carbonation. Ok balance between sweetness and bitternes. Lovely tasty, fresh and easy drinkable session ale.

On tap at The Black Sheep, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Nose brings out quite a bit of floral hops and just enough biscuity malt to back. Flavour is dry and bitter, with bitter English floral hops. Just enough dry biscuity malt on the other side. Decent but nothing overly interesting.

Keg @ The Salthouse, Galway [071014]
Golden, slight hazy, fizzy white head, some lacing
Aroma - Big nose for the abv, herbal zesty hops
Taste - Very hoppy for abv, bitter zest, herbal hops, very light pale malt, grassy, slight lemon, not getting the fruits as the other reviews here, more herbal and bitter zest hops
Palate - Medium carb, light body. Quite biting herbal bitter zest. Finish has a very bitter linger.
Overall - Lots of flavour for the abv. Not usually that keen on big herbal notes but this worked well. Would like it more fruity...did hear that the hops do vary somewhat from batch to batch....so will re-rate again

Draft pint, pours a bright hazy yellow, tight white head, lovely lacing on the glass. Grapefruit, apricot, peach on the nose with some biscuity digestive backing it up. Flavour is the same. Light mouthfeel, long bitter grapefruit finish.

Draught. Cloudy lemon with a solid head, good lacing. Aroma is fruity hop, like the Foam and Fury. Flavour is dusty bitter hop, dry background. Long sandpaper finish. Nice even bitterness throughout.
